when the groom is a photographer …
How do you think a bride would react if the groom, who is a photographer, whipped out a camera to photograph her and her father approaching down the aisle?
I recently photographed Carla and Erik’s wedding, and Erik begged me for one of my cameras.
He hid it behind his back until Carla and her dad approached …
… so that he could photograph her reaction.
(This is one of the images that Erik took.)
Exasperation …
… and then a stern warning to “put that thing away!”.
Um .. a good start there, Erik!

I love that he did this. What a great memory. Her expression is priceless, especially when she tells him to put the camera away.

I read this and I never stopped smiling for at least 10 minutes.

Erik had to promise Carla that he would keep the camera at home… we thought everything would be fine, never thinking he would grab yours! Way to go Erik!!!!!
