I have said it again and again, but I have the best brides ever. I love that my job is personal. Sometimes it is the past, sometimes the present, sometimes the future, and on really lucky occasions, all three.

With Jessica, I am lucky enough to have known her from the time she was an itsy bitsy baby - the smallest baby I had ever seen. Growing up she was always the cutest with her big beautiful eyes and contagious smile. I remember sitting in the stands in West Point next to her mama, cheering her on as she played softball and knowing that no one had a bigger fan there than Jessica had in her mom. I was also there the day we said our final "See you later" to one of the brightest lights in this world I had ever known. When Jessica asked me to photograph her wedding, I was thrilled to be there and cheer her on in this new season of life.
