Neil and I recently had the awesome opportunity to shoot together at Kelly & Tom’s wedding! Our Husband & Wife package is one of my favorite packages for an obvious reason:
I don’t have to bring my step ladder 
He is awefully handy like that!
All joking aside, there is so much value in having two photographers at your wedding. Because here at Make Love Real, LLC we are all about not making you choose. After all, who could choose between Kelly (by Liesl)
And Tom? (by Neil)
They are both way too adorable! And which of these moments would we want you to miss? Neil’s shot . . .
or mine?
These images are such key elements to the story of Kelly & Tom’s day with family and friends, and even though they happened at the same time Kelly and Tom don’t have to choose, because they chose both of us.

Have you an eye for detail?
This image, by the way, was totally unpromted by me. In fact I was warned by Dan & Meg, and I quote, “Dan is a whore and happy to be shot anywhere, anytime. His best man is also a whore, actually he’s a bigger whore and goofier.” I was happy to know upfront that I was dealing with people who LOVE to be photographed!
Anyway, the point is! Yes I have a point! Shoot what is happening! Photograph what you see.
It could be a detail.
Or a gentle moment.
Either way, it all helps to complete the story. And on a day like this, there is much to be remembered!

So Scott’s dad is giving the toast, and he starts slowing down - saying “I was thinking I would try and find one word that would best describe my son.”
So naturally everyone is one the edge of their seat, as he’s really taking a while - like he’s lost his idea - but then he spits it out: GRAND. Ok, so why draw it out….then he follows up with “I’ve always thought of my son as a graaaand son.” and with that I’d like to present the new couple with this gift; and he pulls out a wrapped box. Beth and Scott unwrap it facing them…and everyone wants to know what was in the box….
And so Scott & Beth are cajoled by the audience into showing the gift to everyone
So amid rolling guffaws, cheers and jeers - dad brings his point home!

Goodness sakes it was time for a haircut. And in a most urgent way, as I am traveling next week and need to make a good impression. The following photo shows the impression I was not intent on making!
