I really like this photo and am very proud of it. I wanted to post it as Carolyn + Matt’s sneak peek from their Columbia wedding for a few reasons. First, you can make beautiful pictures anywhere, even at a bus stop. You just need to see the light. The light here was beautiful, and I had to use it. Luckily, I had a great couple who trusted me and didn’t look at me like I was insane for wanting to take their wedding pictures in a parking lot. They said, “Ok Nikki. Let’s do it.” How awesome is that? The second reason I wanted to post this is because Carolyn + Matt really valued photography when they were planning their wedding. I was thrilled they hired me, but even more thrilled that they truly appreciate what I do. So much so, that they made the perfect schedule for their day around photography. This included taking about 15 minutes from their reception to get the “golden light” that you see in this photograph. They’re on their honeymoon right now, but I assure you, they’d say it was worth it to get the images we did. Just a little something for all the brides + grooms out there to think about.
