With wedding season getting ready to ramp up, things are supposed to be slow, right? Wrong.

I’ve been wanting to start posting a bunch of pictures from the last year that particularly struck me for whatever reason. And it would also give me a little time to talk about the photo and the background of it. But it doesn’t seem that I’ve had much time as of late.

So here I’ll start with one of my favorite images from last year but I am not entirely sure why. When I think of all the images, this one keeps bubbling to the top.

I mean obviously Brenda is just stunning and I purposely cut half her face off. But I think it’s the relaxed joy she has going on…

We were sitting in the bridal room at Holy Cross Catholic Church and everything was running late because of audio problems in the sanctuary. So we were chatting away and Brenda was just as relaxed as can be. So I climbed up on the chair and started shooting. One of the things that I honestly like about it the most is that Brenda loves this shot and it makes her feel like a super model.

That’s because she is!
