“Dear Jason, I am so excited to spend our lives together…”
That is how Vicky’s note to Jason begins. And this is how their married life begins:
One of the things that I sometimes find intriguing is the timing of the day. Since all of us capturing images on your wedding day (whether it’s two or three or four of us) all synchronize the times on our cameras I always take the images from all the cameras and edit the images chronologically. The part that I find really amazing is to see what the bride and groom are doing at the same moment. Sometimes you find the bride reading a note from the groom and vice versa at the exact same time. Here’s Vicky and Jason both getting ready to walk out the door and looking in the mirror.
The stunning bride…
Ahhh, the waiting…

This is one of my favorite moments of the day. Don’t think I’m weird. After Mass, the wedding party was invited over to Vicky’s parents’ beautiful home in Country Club of the South. As we were getting ready to depart for the reception, Vicky and Jason stepped into her father’s basement office and took a few moments to practice their dance one last time. Just Vicky, Jason and dad who snapped a few frames with his camera too.

The first dance…
This is where it gets amazing! Vicky’s mother, had alerted me in the weeks leading up to the wedding that if the weather held up then Vicky and Jason and all the guests were going to be surprised with an evening fireworks show. And surprised they were! This show was as good as the Stone Mountain show — just to give you an idea of the scale.
A very special thanks go out to Brian Steele for his trusty assisting/shooting and to Chris Torres of 6 of Four Creations for coming out and getting some amazing shots.
Congratulations Vicky and Jason!

Once again you’ve done an amazing job of capturing Vicky and Jason. Truly gorgeous photographs. First it was their engagement photos, now it’s their wedding! Incredible shots, perfectly framed, and you and your assistants and other photographers were like “stealth” photographers. We didn’t even know you were there! We definitely know who we’ll use for future family photographs — Ben Vigil Photography! Much success in the future.
Many, many thanks. Roz and Rick Walker, parents of the bride

Ben,
Thank you for truly capturing our day! You always have such creative ideas. I will let you in on a little secret… the moment you caught of us downstairs in the basement practicing our first dance was actually our first and only time practicing!
I will be sure to recommend you to my friends who will be getting married soon!
Thanks again for everything!
