some photos cause tears years after they were taken.
this set of photos evokes the same emotions. Let me set the scene for you.
I knew about the present Aaron was going to give to Kevin on his wedding day. For months. And being the wedding photographer, I was in charge of assisting with the plan for how not to give it away but make it a very special moment for their family.
Because the present, a tie clip with their brother’s signature (his actual signature), deserved a silent moment just for them.
The present to this day is one I think of fondly, not only because of what it was, but because of what Matt meant to my family.
If there’s one reason why I love photography… this set of photos is why. Because even looking at them is enough to bring tears to my eyes.
Wedding photography isn’t just about being there for the first kiss or the big moments you know will happen. But about the meaningful side moments that happen along the way. ♥️
