i have been anxiously awaiting posting this wedding, and i am beyond ecstatic to have jeremy and taras wedding be the first on the new blog and represent the POSER : IMAGE.

i cant tell how stoked i was for this wedding. after their stellar e session, and a MAGIC bridal shoot, photography was only one of the reasons. every now and again you get clients with whom you absolutely click with and love. these are just such people. you could sense the anticipation leading up to the wedding, everyone knowing it would culminate in their first kiss. the excitement reached its height for me when as tara was walking down the aisle, everyone, already standing, began to applaud. i have seen applause after a ceremony, but never before. if you look closely at the images of her coming down the aisle, you can see the guests clapping. very cool. these guys are completely in love, and it showed all day long. they couldnt keep their eyes off each other. i love the image during the formals, they might as well be all alone in the world.

oh, and did i mention her Vera Wang dress?

i would be remiss if i did not mention my second shooter extrordinare, jason huang from talbe4photography. BIG ups to jason as he totally rocked this one. go leave him some love on his blog.
