Adrian + Mikki
August 25th, 2012
Mammoth Lakes, CA
Yep, I had to break this wedding up into two parts today. First D’Avello Photography and Imprint Cinema did an amazing job capturing the day. But also, I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I’ve been cruising some of my all time favorite wedding blogs as well as some new ones and I notice a trend. Not only are the images focused on details, but there’s not a whole lot of them. When I get a wedding submission. There’s usually 70-100 images I have to whittle down to 15 or so. But there’s so much of the story that can be lost. I mean imagine if I had edited more of these pictures out. Seriously, look at this bride! Look at her Mom walking her down the aisle, and look at that sweet and silly laugh at the ceremony. To miss those emotional details is to miss the essence of this wedding. We would miss that sweet, easy vibe Mikki and Adrian share. So I’ve broken this up into two parts so you can see that a wedding is more than cute burlap bunting (though we all love that, too). The wedding is also about laughing and celebrating and, as Mikki put it, “being present for the moment. Look carefully at this wedding and think about how you want to feel at your own wedding ;-)
