Emotional wedding

The beauty of the in-between Documentary photography at its core. Moments without my involvement. People being people. Unprompted emotion. My favorite thing on a wedding day is when everyone around you is completely present. I get to observe and really experience the day like a fly on the wall. This is where the magic happens. It’s where the feeling can be captured, not just the moment.

A ‘first touch’ can be an intimate and emotional moment without seeing each other before the ceremony. Whether it’s holding hands around a door, exchanging private vows, saying a prayer, or sharing a quiet conversation, it gives you a chance to spend a few minutes together even without seeing one another. It also gives you a chance to connect and calm your nerves before walking down the aisle, while keeping the tradition of not seeing each other alive!! ——— Film photographer | wedding…

“Colorado has always been my constant, my rock, my home, and my heart,” the bride says. “I wanted to share this once-in-a-lifetime moment with all our loved ones in my favorite place.”

Lara and Ryan’s wedding day was a beautiful representation of how emotion ebbs and flows between serenity, anticipation, tenderness, childlike wonder and uncontainable joy. There is no right way to feel on a day as momentous as your wedding, as long as you are feeling it in all its depth and fullness.
