the moment it all began with a wedding . . .

Around five years ago my dear friend Ginnie married her middle school sweetheart.  Ginnie and I have been friends since we were in the first grade and now I had the opportunity to stand by her side as her maid of honor.  We have travelled through life together - playing dolls for hours, trading stickers (not baseball cards like our brothers), crushes on boys, breakups, dances, long-distance phone calls, and now her wedding -  I was truly honored.  I have always loved weddings.  It was at this wedding though that I realized how much I loved capturing every moment of the special day.  Being there while the bride was getting ready was an emotion that I just can't describe and seeing the two get a glimpse of each other before the ceremony made my heart flutter.  Knowing their story made capturing these moments so special.
