It’s wonderful to have a record of an event to look back on and immediately feel yourself transported to that moment.  The candid nature of event photography is delightful.  It involves an element of luck, a bit of stealth, and great adaptability.  It’s so important to capture all the details, to catch everyone in attendance, and the interactions between them, but also to step back for a view of the scene as a whole.  There is a story to an event and it is a beautiful privilege to be given that story to tell.

This event was on the night before their wedding.  The bride and groom had their two families come together for a cocktail hour at the groom’s family home.  Though it was the first time they’d met, everyone was relaxed at this casual pre-event event and it made for some great photography – as did the warm evening light.  The love and support for the couple was palpable.
