Adventures of a second shooter! Clara Ann Photography did it again with this one and I really enjoyed this wedding with her. I typically hold my emotions in when I’m shooting but this celebration got me. I ugly cried… twice! Danielle & her father did a first look that had me super in touch with my emotional side. I couldn’t help but think that one day I would be able to watch my 5-year-old daughter and my husband do the same thing. Then I cried again when her parents (mostly dad) gave a wonderful toast to the bride & her groom, noting how he couldn’t have hand picked a better match for his first born daughter. Gosh, I’m getting misty-eyed reliving their wedding.

On top of it all, I was able to head into the mountains with Clara which was beautiful! I spent a lot of summers out in the blue ridge mountains so getting to go back is always a happy time for me.

Congratulations to the newlyweds!!
