One of the things photography does particularly well is mark a moment in time. It allows us to look back and see not only how we looked, but how we felt: confident, uncertain, hopeful, brave, terrified, excited or usually some combination of all five.

Some of the most beautiful weddings I have photographed were filled with extraordinary floral design. But I am also happy to see that couples are beginning to rethink the tradition...

After photographing weddings for more than twenty years, I can report that nobody has ever opened an album decades later and said, "Thank goodness we selected the chiavari chairs."
