This was the best two hours of my day :-)

Last month I received a call last minute to shoot a wedding for that upcoming weekend. I inquired why they were booking so late and I was informed that only 10 people were attending. It was more like a small family ceremony and a nice dinner for their family. However when it got closer to the date the bride decided that she wanted some professional pictures taken after all.

Ann (the bride) had some concern with getting enough photos of her dad. He recently had become ill and having him at her wedding meant a great deal to her and she wanted to remember him being there. After the images were posted this is a quick email response I received from Ann. (It's messages like this that make you realize how important our jobs are!)

I just got word tonight that my dad's tumor in his lung has grown again. He'll have to start radiation daily. I was just thinking how during the time of my wedding my dad was enjoying a bit of health that he hadn't had a few months prior while he was undergoing chemo. I'm so happy that my family was at my wedding and in good health at the time. Now, no matter what happens to my dad in the future my family will have these pictures. They will be more special to us now for this reason. I wanted to share that with you because you do more than just capture images in your work-you capture moments. Life changes so often and so quickly...thanks so much Pam for being there that day to capture one of the most beautiful moments of my life.

Here are some of my favorite images of her sons and a slideshow to follow, this was the best two hours of my day :-)
