Chris+Kate’s Wedding | Linwood Park | Ardmore Photographer

I never thought, ever, that I would photograph a wedding. Having that kind of pressure to get the shot scares me to death. I much prefer directing my shots or just letting them happen and catching them as they do. This is why I love photographing children so much. Plus, if I don’t get it, I can try again. That wouldn’t go over so well at a wedding. Can you imagine? Ummm, excuse me, could you walk down the aisle again, my focus was off. Right! So, when a neighbor asked me if I’d be interested in shooting her wedding, I was thrilled, honored and terrified at the same time. It was the perfect setting – outdoors, at sunset and brief. And bonus–it was just around the corner from my house. This park is very meaningful to the couple. They, and many from the community, raised it from a parking lot over two years ago and have nurtured it to the beautiful setting it is today. All the flowers in the bouquets and boutinniere’s were handpicked the park too. It was a very special evening.

Why I even considered doing this wedding is because it was meant to be a very casual affair. The bride-to-be had no interest in the “getting ready” photos or having the reception photographed. Just family and ceremony. Perfect! I agreed, and here are a few of my favorites.
