Los Angeles Wedding Photographer - Someone Hand Me a Tissue

When meeting with clients, one of the questions they ask me is "Do YOU REALLY enjoy shooting weddings?" A big Yes pops out of my mouth immediately and one reason for this is the emotional heights hit in the course of one day.

I cry every time right before the bride gets ready to walk down the aisle with her Dad or Mom & Dad. Privileged as I am with a backstage pass, I am usually standing in the back with them as they enter the aisle to the ceremony. As they turn the corner and the music begins for the bride, it is a highly emotional moment and I am overwhelmed with the energy from the family. This is also a beautiful photo opportunity. Think about it - it's symbolic. The parents supporting their daughter in starting her own family and welcoming another new family into their lives. It's a big deal.

I am left behind them as they continue down the aisle and take their energy with them to both families. Tissue in one hand and camera in the other I get along with my work and enjoy the remainder of the ceremony with pictures.

So - yes - I love to photograph weddings. It's not only fun but highly creative for a photographer - Oh and of course - there's the cake.
