Is life a fairytail? What do you love about a wedding?

What is it that most of us love about a wedding?

I think it is the romantic idea that on this one day a couple will start their lives together. Like it really is the first day of the rest of their lives.

We tend to forget the fact that most couples these days have already moved in together or have kids...that they have fought and made up... That they know how each other smell in the morning...and you know what? They forget it too!

A Wedding day seems to be this magical day of freshness; it's kinda like a big slice of lemon meringue pie. Rich and creamy with fun whipped fluff on top. The only thing you really have to worry about is if the cake has been delivered and the preacher in there on time ;) Well maybe there's a little more to it than that.

As a photographer I love to think of weddings in a romantic way. To view the couple (my subjects) as these angels without a care in the world. To look around me at this perfectly laid out world that has been all staged out for this special day. The perfectly set table tops, party favors unique to this wedding, all of the colors hand picked by the bride. I know that life is so not like this on a daily basis, but I pretend as long as I can...that is until someone rushes in and say's "I can't find aunt betty" or "The flower girl just fell in the pond". We make due with what we have, just like with everything in life.

And for one of the BIG events in our lives, we strive for perfection.
