I first met this bride back in 2008, when I had the opportunity to have her in class.  Never in a million years did I think that I would be fortunate enough to capture her wedding day and not be teaching anymore.  I feel so privileged to be a part of their special day.  I got to know her husband just a month prior when he was a groomsman in another wedding we shot.  They are so much fun.  They laugh a lot together and I absolutely love that about them.   I had them reflect a bit on their wedding day and share some thoughts with me.  I know, I know, once a teacher always a teacher.  I can't stop giving them homework ;)
