Shooting weddings might potentially be the best job in the world. Being the person that gets to spend those final “single” hours with someone and those first moments as a new couple is such a great experience. It is one of the most amazing times in someone’s life and I am lucky enough to get to capture that for them. Fantastic. I met Erika and Ben back in November, they are hilarious together. Both have these super outgoing personalities that just make everyone around them smile. I have been counting down with Erika the past few months, every few weeks I would send her a little update on how much closer she was getting to her wedding.

They did their reception the night before which was actually awesome because it broke up a super long day into a few hours Friday night, and a few hours Saturday morning. We went and did their couple’s shots before the reception Friday night, which means, yes Ben saw Erika in her dress before the wedding… This was AWESOME. I would seriously recommend this to anyone because it makes everything so laid back and allows the bride and groom to really enjoy some moments together away from the craziness.

I thought this was a nice shot to start out with….
