Stephanie and Daniel (wedding)

7 Dec 2008

“Tell her she’s pretty even if she looks like a truck”. This is something I’ll never forget. This is also something that Daniel will never need to remember.

Every wedding is special, but there was a special something about this one, perhaps it was the outwardly visible love that Stephanie and Daniel had for each other, or the loving support network they had there to celebrate their wedding with them.. or perhaps both? Whatever it was, this was a wedding I’ll never forget.

Steph looked like a princess. I don’t mean that in a way where you say it to compliment someone, I mean she LOOKED LIKE A PRINCESS! I could have quite easily been photograhing royalty. Daniel was looking quite dapper, but didn’t look like a princess :-) 

Daniel & Steph met nearly 4 years ago, when Daniel was Steph’s R.A. at college. Dan picked Steph out as his, and soon enough she fell for him.  They’ve been through alot together, and these best buds are so in love that nothing could break them apart.

Everyone has been asking me about these photos.. well here they are folks. There will be another post going up with photos from the CRAZYBOOTH! Just you wait!

Thanks Steph, Dan and both your families for having me be a part of this celebration of your new life together.

p.s. It really upsets me when people come and go without leaving a comment! Comments show me that people are enjoying the photos, and it’s a well known fact that if we get enough comments, I often do another post with more photos form that wedding! Win/Win!

  10. James, what a wonderful assortment of photos. You have an AMAZING gift to be able to take such wonderful, heart felt, emotional photos. I LOVE all these photos, but especially the quirky little grin Steph is giving Dan in the last photo at the church. You certianly have captured the essence of Steph and Dan in these photos so far. Cant wait to see more, especially the photo booth. Enjoy Sydney this week and i look forward to chatting more sometime. God Bless :)

    Now that I’m a bride-to-be after my fiance proposed to me with a gorgeous diamond engagement ring from http://www.idonowidont.com, I have been looking for the best wedding photographer to capture our big day.

    These photos of Steph and Dan are stunning and I hope I look like a princess too on my wedding day in our photos! You’re very talented!
