After discovering that I photograph weddings, he then pointed out that perhaps I am one of these sources--that documenting 'good news' is in fact the business every we...
After shooting two weddings at the Britannia Yacht Club, I am somewhat suspicious that moody clouds are simply part of the venue's decor. Luckily for Alexis and Jeff, we narrowly avoided rain, and still had all of the benefit of a lovely textural backdrop.
