Anna and Pat’s Franklin Plaza Wedding in Troy, NY was absolute perfection from start to finish.

I’ve been a wedding photographer since 2011, and when I scan through my memory of the hundreds of weddings I’ve shot, there is always that one moment from each wedding that gets imprinted into mind and becomes my core memory from that day.  Sometimes the moment comes and goes and doesn’t gain significance until I’m reliving it on the ride home or editing it weeks later.  Sometimes the moment happens and I’m like “That’s it!”

As you scroll through the following storyline from this day, you’ll see moments that will simply take your breath away from an aesthetic perspective, but the moment that caught my breath in my throat and made me tear up was when I was photographing Anna solo, shortly after the first look.  I was running around grabbing all kinds of angles and I suddenly became aware that Pat, who was standing a bit behind me to my left, suddenly went still.

I looked back to see him –tears in his eyes just gazing at Anna– as he took photo after photo of her with his cell phone.

While I was there to photograph her from every angle imaginable, he wanted to remember this moment –he wanted to remember her– with his own eyes.  His own heart.

…and if that isn’t love…
