As I rounded the corner the town of Waterton came into view. A moose grazed in the fields to my left and the magestic mountains towered over me. The skies were blue, laced with soft white clouds that passed slow and gracefully. It was the perfect day for a wedding, in the perfect location, with the perfect couple.
I’d been so looking forward to meeting Katharine after corresponding with her regularly these past many months, both of us anxious and excited for the coming event. It was a couple of months after she asked me to photograph her wedding that we realized that I had gone to highschool with her fiance Dave (and much of his wedding party). How fun is that?! Ten years have passed since then. Wow!
After speaking with Katharine on the phone, and chatting with her periodically via email – I knew we were going to get along. And my suspicions were confirmed when I walked into her hotel room Saturday afternoon to meet her for the first time. She was smiling, excited, and a tiny bit nervous as she began to get ready. But as the afternoon progressed and she realized she had only moments before she walked down the aisle – I could see the surety in her eyes. This was exactly what she had been waiting for, exactly what she wanted…and she was stunningly beautiful in her confidence and her elegant, white gown. I don’t always shed a tear at weddings, but as I watched her hug her family and get ready to walk out the door and over to the church I felt a rush of emotion wash over me. It was going to be a wonderful day.
Here is a little peek at Katharine & Dave’s incredibly beautiful day!
