I am in love with this couple and their families and all the crazy traditions. Masha is from Russia and her family and friends made a 24 hour flight to be with her on her special day. I loved getting to know the girls and even though her dad could not speak English, he was cracking me up all day! Alex realized when Masha went back to Russia that he could not live without her and so she came back and they made it work and I am so happy for both of them because I could see how happy Masha makes Alex that day

Bearing all elements {Behind the scenes}

Being a wedding photographer is one of the greatest jobs I could ask for. There are so many challenges on a wedding day and every wedding is different. I get this question almost every wedding: “What if it rains? What if it snows? What will we do?” My answer: “Trust me, we will make it work.” You can not control the weather on your wedding day and when mother nature throws curve balls at me I make the best out of them. Adam and Christy’s wedding was a true test of how a true professional handles the task at hand. We started out with cold weather but no rain and no snow. Here is a couple behind the scenes of the first part of the day.

Everyone remember the snow blizzard we had at the end of this March? Yes, that happened on Adam and Christy’s wedding day. This whole wedding party had such a good attitude and we totally rocked this blizzard. It’s so important to have this sort of attitude on your wedding day, because you can not control the weather. There is almost always something that does not go according to plan on a wedding day. If you know that going into it, your pictures will truly show it afterwards. Thank you to Allie for capturing all these behind the scene photos.
