Every wedding I have the opportunity to photograph reminds me how magical it all is. I remember when I was a kid, I thought that my parents just sort of always existed together as a package deal. Like, they arrived on Earth together for the soul purpose of being our mom and dad. Oddly enough, I can pinpoint the precise moment when it dawned on me that they actually, at one point, had totally separate lives, which they chose to join together in order to become what is now our family. Like I said, pure magic.

Here's to the beginning of a new family—congrats to Jaime & James!
