As the one tasked to be with the Bride literally more than the groom on her wedding day, thought it might be fun to go over some wedding etiquette. This was spurred by fellow wedding photographer, Ray Prevost, who posted an image from a recent wedding:

Each little red arrow represents a guest’s camera – 16 in all. Ray is quoted as saying:

“What they are not looking at, and witnessing, and enjoying, and taking a mental image of, is the bride walking down the aisle with her dad. They are all missing it! And this is the image the bride will receive—not smiling friendly faces—happy to see her so happy. Instead, a bunch of people looking down.”

So from the article entitled Here Comes the Bride: Wedding Etiquette we encourage all of our brides to remind their guests:

Don’t take photographs during the ceremony. Respect the sanctity of the ritual and leave photography to the professionals.

Nick just celebrated his second birthday. He did fairly well in the beginning of our shoot … but later had to be “bribed with a tootsie pop (or two)!

So many great applicants .. but could only pick one couple. As mentioned yesterday, this was a very difficult task. I selected Marta and Dan for the intimate content of thier essay. I got Marta’s permission before posting anything publicly, but lets just say that the very nature of their relationship beginnings and the obstacles they overcame to get to this point in their lives has been tremendous.

Join me in congratulating Marta and Dan who will be married Saturday August 15 at the Public Library grounds and reception to follow at the KAXE amphitheater.

Marta and Dan
