Kontras Married . 10.22.16

Daniel and Kat are the kind of people that make this job a total Dream.  They are thoughtful, warm and so kind.  So kind!  We  met them  through my brother-in-law, Julian and had the opportunity of photographing their engagement in the Spring.   They made us feel like part of their close friends and family.  My favorite part of the day was when Kat came down the aisle and I turned around to get Daniel’s expression.  His face was full of tears and my heart just melted.  Wow!  The moment he saw his bride he couldn’t stop the tears.  She was beautiful and I loved watching their interactions standing their.

I have a little secret to tell you…during their reception I watched as couples danced and shared in a special moment together.  I imagined what it would be like to dance with Jake (my husband)  and thought how I wish we had more opportunities to do so.  Later that night Kat came up to us and demanded that Jake & I dance. At first we said no because we were on the job, but she was persistent  and took our cameras away.  Jake & I got to share a dance that evening.  My heart was so full and happy! Thank you Kat for doing that.  I told Jake later that I was actually wishing that we could dance earlier and he smiled back and me and said, “me too!”  God must have known my hearts desire and used sweet Kat to push for it.

To Daniel and Kat, thank you for your overwhelming kindness and for making us feel like friends and not just photographers.  As you look at some of our favorite photos from your wedding today, tomorrow and thirty years from now, we hope that you will always remember the spark that lights a fire between you and the butterfly feelings of this day will come flooding back every time.
