I’m blown away when I pause and consider the privilege I’m given each wedding I document. I fell in love with photojournalism while flipping through pages of National Geographic. Amongst articles featuring Inuits in Canada, or barracudas in the deep blue, famous photographers like Steve McCurry and Joel Satore presented pieces from across the World documenting special rights ceremonies. No matter what you call them, how they’re officiated, or what hemisphere they’re held, marriages are universal ceremonies between two people–a pinnacle point in their lifelong story, which I’m grateful to witness and document.
Phil and Jamie were quiet when I first met them. They were reserved, composed, and polite. During their wedding they were moving.
Emotion filled the air; tissues touched corner’s of eyes and sniffles were muffled behind cupped hands. From the people in the back row to the photographer crouching in the corner (me), I wager not a single person was left unmoved.
Thanks to Steve Koo for bringing me along as a second, and to Jame and Phil.What a beautiful ceremony. Did I mention we had a blast at the reception?
