Welcome to a new feature for our blog that we will be adding weekly and sometimes more. It is called “A Story Within A Story” and it essentially comes from the fact that there are so many interesting, dynamic and emotional moments that we photograph at weddings but we can’t explain during our huge wedding posts. So we decided to highlight specific moments throughout our weddings and go deeper and explain more of the moment that had just taken place. We are so excited about this, we could do this post daily if we had the time to! Also, if we photographed your wedding, you follow our blog and are reading this, we would love to hear any stories that we didn’t know about that we photographed.
This image was captured and Ashley & Craig’s wedding back in March of 2008. This is Craig’s oldest daughter and it was not hard to see how much they adored Ashley, and she loved them just the same. The anticipation prior to the ceremony by her and her little sister was brought on by more than the excitement of being in the wedding. They were about to have Ashley as a mother. They were laughing and giddy throughout the morning and she even snuck over to her soon-to-be-mom during the ceremony to get another hug. Right after the ceremony, though, was the most emotional part for me. This little girl started crying as she reached for Ashley, giving the strongest hug she could muster. Other guests were piling out of the church and offering their congratulations but it didn’t deter her one bit. She held on. Ashley was so patient and they looked at each other and simultaneously said , “I love you!”
It was a wonderful, touching moment that was memorable for me and is so worth of our inaugural “Story Within A Story”.
