Sarah and Simon’s wedding was a dream wedding for a photojournalist—to put it simply. The day was an emotional smorgasboard –there was laugher and tears from both the bride and groom, and what looked like every single guest present! I’m a sucker for moments that move people to tears–be it tenderness or a good old fashion roast, and I was completely in my element at this wedding. Sarah and Simon are two extraordinary people who love deeply–not only each other, but their friends and family, as well. They treated me as though we had known each other for years. I’m always blessed by this.

…And well, let’s be honest–I’ve been waiting for a shot of a bride and groom smoking a cigarette together for years…. I finally got this from Simon and Sarah. What a riot!

This image is more of a cautionary tale…. family portraits are not always easy to get through!

Check out the views from cocktail hour, and of course the amazing decor inside the Ritz Carlton ballroom—Sarah and Simon have some serious class!
