it's my delight to share these lovely photographs from eileen and matthew's wedding! this is one of the first weddings that i shot where i felt magic. it left a deep impression. it cast a spell on me. after this day i was determined to follow my heart. it sent me on my way to approaching wedding photography as my art. it made me realized that the two did not have to live apart. from this day on, i knew my artistic subjects of choice would be sweet brides and grooms and darling flower girls. i experienced the enchantment of sharing a similar aesthetic vision with eileen and mathew. the bliss of knowing that they appreciated my blurry, soft and somewhat antiquated style. i could never go back.

 

"The full weight and mystery of your art rests upon your relationship to your subject matter."

this wedding was timeless. classic and beautiful. it could have been forty or fifty years ago or right now. it was neither but a few ago (well, five ago). nothing looks dated. it is still more precious and beautiful than one could dream. my memory of this day seems to get more vivid as time goes by.

"This wedding casts the same magical spell. It's a simple backyard
wedding transformed into something otherworldly by flowers and fairy
curtains strung in trees….and by love and community and commitment."

eileen's dress was designed by the amazing lisa defrance. the long vintage netted material was a train for the ceremony and also could be wrapped around eileen's arms for the reception and photos. it was so unique and beautiful. the delicate pattern and texture of the dress photographed beautifully. including the soft ruffles and feathers on her shoulder.
