ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. You did a great job, but then, look at who you were working with – all great-looking people.

Amazing Photo’s! Just incredibly beautiful! All of them. They reflect the love between Eric & Jess and all the fun everyone had at their wedding! I love the shot of Jess looking at the butterfly! Great Job. Photo’s to enjoy for a life time! Can’t wait to see the one’s from the props!
About the picture with the butterfly:
This was the most amazing part of the ceremony, and I want to explain to everyone exactly what happened… down to the beginning. About a week before the wedding I was thinking about my cousin Nicky, who had passed away a month before. I …was hoping to myself that he would come to the wedding, even though I was nervous that he wouldn’t be able to make it. As I was thinking this, a butterfly flew in front of me, stopped for a second right in front of me, and then flew away. This butterfly was brown and had a big white stripe up the side of its wing that looked like a scar. Nick had a scar on the side of his head from a surgery, and when I saw that butterfly, I thought to myself, “If Nick was a butterfly, that’s what he’d look like.” I had no doubt in my mind that it was Nick telling me he’d be there.
Now, to the wedding, about a week later. Standing at the altar, Eric saw the butterfly behind me and told me about it, so obviously I turned around. And what did I see? The EXACT SAME butterfly that had flown in front of me a week prior…. It was the most amazing moment, and then obviously I cried a bit at the altar so touched by Nick’s visit, and hoped that someone would have gotten the picture. And sure enough, Ryan had the absolute perfect timing and snapped the exact moment that I had turned around to look at the butterfly. It is the best memory of the wedding that anyone could have captured, and I’m so grateful to Small Moments Studios for it!!!
[…] Jess and Eric’s wedding took place at the very cool Tappan Hill in Tarrytown… it was a beautiful day, with some very touching moments. Keith and I shot the wedding, and we had our SPOTLIGHT photobooth running which was lots of fun… you can check out the original post here. […]
