As I was taking this shot of Erin and her mother just minutes before they left for the ceremony, I remember thinking how lucky I am. People let me into their lives every weekend, I see so much love and I actually get paid to capture it. I know I go on about this all the time, but I have a pretty fantastic job. My time in ad-land seems so far away at times. No more presenting ad campaigns to people who couldn’t care less, no more meetings with people who resent what I do, no more fake smiles and handshakes.
Instead love and happiness in abundance.

Jonas Hallgren - Very nice picture, and I find myself nodding in agreement – being a bagpiper at several weddings a year puts me in the same environment although not as intimate as you get to be. Underbart :)
Ben Blood - Well put man. I know exactly what you mean. This is the life, and I’m sure lucky to be where I’m at now.
I should have seen your work long before now, but someone pointed me in your direction. There is a handful of photography I connect with – yours is a part of that.

Melejane - The look in the mother’s eyes is absolutely priceless. You’re an ad-land recoveree and I think it’s wonderful you truly know how lucky you are…it’s real, it’s raw and captivating.
ayesha - i agrees. though it also makes me a little nervous when it comes to the day itself – feel the weight of the responsibility…
love this image, the way that the one detail that is most important – the look in the mother’s eyes – stands out so clearly.
Dennis Pike - here’s my question… does amazing light follow you everywhere you go?
Jakob Granqvist - I completely agree. And the picture is awesome. Capturing a moment like this is what makes a great wedding photographer.
