After Five and a Half Years...

My wife is (generally) one of the most patient people I know. In this, though, she's really outdone herself. Six years ago, as we were planning our wedding, I told her that I wanted to take her bridal portraits. Being the traditionalist she is, she didn't want me seeing her dress until she was walking down the isle. No sweat, right? Just do them once you're back from the honeymoon. Unfortunately, it wasn't long after our honeymoon that we became pregnant with our first son!

To make a long story short, that pattern continued a second time. Now, five and a half years after our actual wedding day, we've FINALLY done the shoot. And let me tell you, it wasn't a day too soon.

My wife is, without a doubt, far more beautiful today than the day we married. When I first saw her in her dress, she looked more like I did that day; Excited and nervous. Today, I see the confidant, experienced woman she's grown to become. She looks more like a queen holding court than a bride.

Ok, I've actually made myself cry. Enough of this! People won't believe I'm the cold hearted shooter that I am if I keep this up... Don't give me that look! I'll take this camera and-

Who am I kidding? I'm a sap. My wife is beautiful. So beautiful, in fact, that she makes me cry.

I love you, Caroline.

PS- The shots with both of us in them were lit and posed by me, but shot by my best friend, Will Underwood. Thanks Will, Daniel, Lindsi, Melodie and Lea Anne!
