It's 2.17, I have a press deadline

at 3.30. I haven't gotten a single

portrait of the bride and groom.

My heart breaks for them because they haven't

had a single time just to like veg

and chill.

I have about five minutes with them here.

I have a natural reflector here.

I have good light coming through the trees.

It's really harsh lighting.

This is the best I'm going to get.

I'm going to try to work with him

in the next five minutes, get at least

one photo that I'm proud of and that's

what we're going to be sending to press

for the first push.

Tomorrow's push will be a separate edit which

is what we'll talk about.

Today we're talking about tech elements and just

a portrait of the bride and groom.

Taylor, I know you guys want to party.

I get it.

I'm on deadline for the knot, homie.

Okay, so for these, Taylor, you're going to

turn this way.

Sam, you're going to turn this way.

Can you guys come out this way?

Yeah.

Do you want my dressing vessel?

No, no, no.

Okay, good.

You're good, you're good.

Sam, do I, Ferris, do I have the

bouquet?

Right now, yeah, you guys just turn and

Taylor turn into Samantha.

Whoa, this is really dark.

All right, Jake.

What's going on?

No, no, no, no.

You are, yeah, you're good.

And then can you guys turn towards each

other?

I'm going to get your beautiful, Taylor, your

hands around her waist.

Back.

There we go.

Yeah, there we go.

Bring your foreheads in nice and close.

Beautiful.

Good.

This is beautiful.

Can you guys both look at J.D.?

And then, yeah, open your shoulder up towards

J.D. And then, Sam, lean in a

little bit more.

That's great, guys.

And then, Taylor, looking at Sam.

And then Sam looking at J.D. And

then, Taylor, bend down and give Sam a

light kiss.

Nice.

Good.

This is fantastic.

Now, I'm just going to do a traditional

portrait real quick because this is what press

always likes.

So, let's see.

Taylor, take a step back.

There we go.

And then, Sam, you fall right into Taylor.

Yeah, the other way.

Beautiful.

And actually, yeah, we're a ring.

Yep.

That's it, sir.

Yep.

So, for this portrait, I'm just going to

be extra conscious because I want to get

her ring in the photo.

Can you handle being right here?

Oh, yeah, maybe.

No, I like this.

So, I'm going to get a portrait right

now and then we'll pop that in.

Right?

It's beautiful.

Let's see.

Taylor, can I have your hand in your

pocket?

Let me just get a test shot.

This is beautiful.

Can you guys take one step this way?

There we go.

Right there.

Beautiful.

Good.

And then, eyes at each other.

And then, Sam, bring your right hand behind

his back a little bit more.

There we go.

No, behind his back.

Yeah.

Hide it a little bit more.

And then, bring your hand up to his

lapel.

So, that right about there.

Yes.

Yes.

That's it.

Can you guys bring your foreheads nice and

close together?

And then, Taylor, have your hand around her

waist.

There we go.

There we go.

Forehead to forehead.

Hang out there.

Hang out there.

Hang out there.

Hang out there.

Peel away from each other.

Relax the shoulders.

Beautiful.

Take a deep breath.

Relax that front left shoulder, Sam.

Oh, Taylor.

Boom.

Already, he has your back.

Good.

Now, Sam, can you look here at me?

And then, good.

Now, Taylor, can you lean down and kiss

Sam wherever your lips land?

Beautiful.

Thank you, guys.

Okay.

I do.

I do.

I do.

Okay.

I love it.

Ferris.

Yep.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're going to hold your bouquet.

You're going to interlock your arms.

Can I have this hand in your pant

pocket?

You're going to interlock your right arm around

Taylor's left arm.

And then, this is it.

This is it, friends.

I was hoping you would say friends at

some point today.

He's like, I love that she called him

friends.

I love it.

I love it.

Oh, right now?

Yeah.

Actually, like this.

And then, Taylor, can I have your hand

in your pocket, too?

And then, lean against.

Yep.

There we go.

Beautiful.

I think we're okay right now.

We're shooting pretty head on right now for

press.

Sam, later on, we might.

Beautiful.

Now, what you guys are going to do

is you guys are going to casually walk

towards us, looking at in a nice, slow

cadence.

You guys are looking at each other in

three, two, one.

Add it.

Beautiful.

There we go.

Keep the weight on your toes.

Keep the weight on your toes.

I have to compensate for that light that's

coming in.

She's like really, really, really blown out.

But now, she's going to come back into

shade, so I need to be extra careful.

I have to compensate, and I'm going to

wait for her.

This is the shot that I'm going to

want.

Beautiful.

We're going to turn towards JD.

Good.

Nice.

Okay.

We're going to get one more shot in

this portico, and then, you guys go out

to party.

So, now, what we're going to do is

we're going to have you guys facing each

other.

Thank you.

So, this light is...

I'm going to do a test shot.

I'm going to use the frame.

So, the farther I pull back from the

couple, the sun is...

Thank you.

No.

Oh, that's a nice bustle.

That's easy.

Yeah.

Well, I'm going to wait until you're done.

Yeah.

Thanks.

At least you have options.

So, after the party, we'll do the door.

We'll do the vineyards, and we'll call it

a day.

Oh, no.

The vineyards, I think.

I mean, it's a vineyard wedding.

Hands around her waist.

Eyes at each other.

Beautiful.

Tippy toes.

Can you get up on your tippy toes?

Beautiful.

And then, Taylor, you come down and give

her a nice kiss.

And then, make a more for the kiss.

Make a more for it.

Lean back.

Lean back.

Lean back, Sam.

And then, Taylor, you lean into her.

Beautiful.

Good.

Now, you guys are going to look here

at us.

You guys are going to walk slowly towards

us, hand in hand.

Nice.

Oh, yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

So, we're going to do one quick shot

for video.

Nice and slow towards us.

And looking at each other.

Nice and slow.

Beautiful.

Taylor, hand in your pocket.

There you go.

There we go.

Thank you, guys, for good.

Thank you.

Good.

Enjoy some food.

So, we're at the end of the formal

wedding day.

So, the wedding was slated to end at

4 p.m. The bride and groom were

taken away, and that's where we're in a

waiting period.

The press is having to go through questions

and answers with the bride and groom, which

is not typical of a wedding day.

However, it could be typical in a way

that after a wedding, people just want to

chat and talk with the bride and groom.

So, I'm just going to treat it as

that.

Of course, there's a propensity for me to

be frustrated with how things have gone, but

that's okay.

We're just going to roll with it.

We're going to give them the time that

they need.

Now, in previous lessons, I talked about how

creating an experience from the photos allows clients

to look back at their photos and think

of how special that time was.

So, the more time that the clients are

spending with press, the less time they actually

want to be in front of the camera,

and it's totally understandable.

I need to respect my clients, but at

the same time, I need to make sure

that they're going to get photos that will

last them for generations.

So, do I think that I'm going to

shoot them a full 30 minutes?

No, because I honestly don't think that they

have it in them.

So, what we're going to go into right

now is we're going to shoot the bride

and groom.

We had shot them earlier for about five

minutes so that I can fall into a

press deadline, and now what we're going to

do is hopefully shoot them around 15 to

20 minutes.

As we do that, I'm going to focus

on three main locations.

Hopefully, we'll do kind of like a greenery

area.

We'll do a landscape venue area second, and

then hopefully, we'll see how it goes, but

hopefully we'll end out on the vineyard.

So, that's the plan.

Hopefully, we can stick to it, and within

that time frame of about 15 to 20

minutes, we get what the clients totally and

ultimately deserve.

So, I'm going to be shooting with the

35.

I'm going to get a wide shot with

better light, and it's just going to be

complete candids up into this point.

Great.

I'm going to balance my time between what

the videographers need and what I need.

So, we're just going to have the couple

walk here.

I have a moving truck.

I have bridesmaids.

I have a lot of stuff going on

over here, so I need to crop in

camera and get them simply walking and enjoying

this.

So, Sam, I'm going to shoot this at

a 2.8. Yes, please.

So, J.D. is shooting tight, and I'm...

Oh, actually, right there, guys, was fantastic.

J.D. is shooting tight, and I'm shooting

wide.

So, what we're going to do is you

guys are simply going to be walking towards

the direction of J.D. Nice and nice

and slow.

You guys are just enjoying this moment looking

at each other.

Yeah.

It's so cute, guys.

You just doing that is fantastic.

And, J.D., are you ready?

Great.

Taylor, hand in pocket.

Nice.

Nice and slow.

Good.

Good.

Pause there.

Taylor, I'm going to get you over here.

Taylor, I'm going to have you stick your

feet underneath.

I think you're just shutting.

So, we just call it, or should we

fight for it?

Should we pull it?

Yeah, I think it's still...

Okay.

It's fine.

Yeah.

Okay.

Just fluff.

Fluff her up.

There you go.

Thank you.

I'm still going to...

Bye.

J.D., do you have a case?

Sam, I need you on his...

Your back in his chest.

Yes, and he's going to have...

Wrap your arms and then you're going to

relax.

Okay.

And you guys aren't going to be paying

attention to us at all.

You're going to be just kind of just

focusing.

Nice.

Beautiful.

Looking out towards the chateau.

Give you guys both a...

Oh, hang on.

I need to switch my ISO.

I was overexposed.

I need to be at 200 ISO.

There we go.

640.

640 for a second.

I'm shooting with the 35.

Looking out towards the chateau one more time,

loveys.

Great.

Beautiful.

Now, I'm going to shoot wide open for

this.

Beautiful.

I'm going to test my light.

Beautiful.

Hang out there for one sec.

No, no, no.

You take your time.

You get shushed.

Beautiful.

Taylor, can you come down and you kiss...

Yes, there we go.

There we go.

You can do that.

It's beautiful.

Sam, relax that front left shoulder.

Beautiful.

Take a deep breath.

Look down.

That left shoulder creeps up on you.

Okay.

Relax the bouquet.

Relax the bouquet.

Beautiful.

And then eyes down at the floor in

front of you.

Take a deep breath.

Slight smile eyes here.

Boom.

Okay.

Look at JD.

Sorry, I was being shy.

I was being shy.

Oh, darling.

You're just so fierce.

Okay.

Let's do the vineyard.

It's going to be a little bright.

It's going to be a little hot.

We'll end in the rose garden.

We're going to call it a day.

That's right.

Boom.

Done.

Here we go.

Okay.

So what's going on is I suggested this

row.

JD suggested this one because it's continuous, but

I noticed that this thing was going to

be competition.

So, um, we're just going to tie it

back hopefully.

And then we'll bring it back out.

I don't know.

It's good.

It's good.

It's good.

Okay.

I know.

I know.

I'm going to get a bill for that.

Okay.

We're going to have you guys walk down

center and you're going to hold her dress.

We're going to make this part of the

photograph.

You guys are simply walking down.

I would love that.

If you did, I would love that.

If you did.

3.2. I'm at 125 ISO 800 for

the second.

I'll see where we're at right now.

This light is just mediocre.

It's not that great.

I'm not going to lie, but it's vineyard

photos.

And this is what I want.

Beautiful.

Pause there.

Release the dress.

Taylor.

Good.

And then you'll have that bouquet down exactly

where it is gorgeous.

Relax the hands between you two and then

look at each other.

Taylor hand in pocket.

Atta boy.

There we go.

Now we're ready.

We're kicking with fire.

Y'all good.

Lean down.

I want you down for a kiss.

Thank you.

Beautiful.

Great.

I'm going to switch my lens.

I'm going to shoot with the 85 at

a girl.

Make him work for that.

That's beautiful.

One more time.

One more time.

One more time.

Beautiful.

Good.

Yeah, I'm shooting the 85.

So now what I'm gonna have you guys

do is I'm going to have you guys

slowly walk.

And just as you turn back like that,

that's exactly what I want.

That's exactly.

Because I'm not shooting the both of them,

I'm going to drop this down.

I want him looking at you.

I'm going to test the light.

I'm at 2.2. Now, if she turns

back and the sun is not 100%

on her face, I'll be able to nail

it.

If the sun's bisecting her too much, I'm

going to overexpose.

I'm going to try this twice.

I'm at 2.2, 800th of a second,

1.5 ISO.

Sam, just turn over real quick.

Let me get a light test.

We're good.

Good.

Taylor, that side profile of yours is looking

good.

Fantastic.

I'm going to have you guys start on

the count of three, two, one with that

cadence with the left foot.

In three, in two, and one.

We're walking.

And Sam, turn back.

Beautiful.

Look forward.

And Sam, get, whoa, sorry, Boo.

There you go.

Get closer to Taylor.

Taylor, hand in pocket.

Take your time, Sam, take your time.

You're walking and you're turning back.

Good.

Beautiful.

Pause there.

Turn in at each other.

Beautiful.

A little bit more.

So, Taylor, turn your chest in closer to

hers.

Yeah, I think that's fantastic.

Actually, put your hand up.

Beautiful.

And then, Taylor, come down close to Sam

so that you create a shadow for her.

Closer, closer, closer, closer.

Thank you.

On the other side of her face.

Beautiful.

Bring your foreheads in nice and close.

Actually, let's do forehead to forehead, nose to

nose.

There we go.

And this time, Sam, look out the ground

in front of you.

And take, this is it.

Relax that front right shoulder.

And, Taylor, you lean in and kiss wherever

your lips land.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

Pause there.

Pause there.

Hang out.

Good.

Now, what I want you to do is,

I like that, but what I want is,

instead of this, I kind of want you

to arch the back.

So, you're going to push your pelvis into

his, make him work for it.

Okay.

Good.

Great.

Now, we're going to have you guys walk

back towards us, and we're going to head

back towards the rose garden.

We're going to call this, we're going to

call this wedding.

Let's see.

So, Taylor, I'm going to have you step

closer this way.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then, Sam, you're going to step in

closer to Taylor.

So, we have some major hot spots.

I'm not sure if this shot's going to,

Taylor, can you fix her hair right here,

put it behind her ear?

There we go.

So, let's see.

The thing I want to avoid is, Sam,

you looking up at Taylor.

So, Taylor will be looking forward, and he'll

be looking down at you.

You will be looking at me, at the

ground, at the vineyard.

Me, at the ground, at the vineyard.

And you're going to take your time, however

long it needs, you need to do this.

That's right, boo.

And you're going to take your time.

I'm overexposing the vineyard greatly, just to expose

my clients where I need to.

And we're ready for y'all.

Beautiful.

Oh, you got it down.

You got it down.

You got this down.

I love it.

Taylor, eyes at your gorgeous wife.

She's in almost full sun, so competent for

that.

Beautiful.

Relax, relax the shoulders, relax the shoulders.

Look at the vineyard one more time.

Heck yes, thank you.

Dang, you guys look good.

You guys look good.

We're ending this at the rose garden, so

here we go.

So, here's the thing.

So, I actually wanted to stop the bride

and groom here, because it was portico with

greenery, but there's a big bald patch in

the greens above it, and I just don't

think it's worth it enough for me to

fight for that photo.

So, what I'm going to do now is

I'm simply going to have, I'm going to

look for, I'm going to look for pretty

light.

I need to shoot just three more locations.

You just need to keep them with me,

and if I'm going to sacrifice this at

being one of them, then so be it.

So, I'm going to get you guys right

over here, and Taylor, you can still hold

her dress, and you guys are going to

come out towards me, and you guys are

going to be looking at each other and

walking.

Jersey's going to lower that bouquet, Sam.

Beautiful.

We're walking, we're walking.

Beautiful, beautiful, and then yes, gorgeous, and Sam,

eyes here.

Beautiful.

Relax, bring that shin down, boo.

There it is.

Eyes up, Taylor.

All right, you got a fountain.

Great.

It's almost the exact same look, but it's

that side.

Okay, let's do this.

And then also, guys, real quick, real quick,

it's only going to take a couple seconds.

Okay, so I'm going to put them over

there.

Okay, cool.

Okay, so JD's my secret weapon.

That's really what this is about.

Okay, we're going to have you guys, let

me put you guys right here.

JD, I need you shooting tight.

Samantha and Taylor, I'm going to get you

guys right over here.

Beautiful.

So we're going to create like a V

with your bodies.

So Taylor, I'm here.

So this is Taylor.

This is you.

You're going to create a V this way.

So you're going to be facing that way.

I'm going to be shooting you from behind.

We're going to hold this.

Yeah, I'm going to open it that way.

I'm going to shoot you guys from behind

here.

Ferris, let me give this to you.

Go forward, go forward, go forward, go forward,

go forward, go forward, go forward, right there.

And then Taylor, you guys go up there,

make my little V.

Girl, you have no idea.

I'm going to shoot this with my 50.

Beautiful.

Can I get profiles at each other?

Right there, yes.

Beautiful.

More profile, Taylor.

Turn it.

Yep, there we go.

Yes.

All right.

I'm a little too tight right now, so

I'm going to actually pull back as much

as I can, a little bit, just a

little bit.

Yeah, I know.

I got it.

I got it.

That would make great creative live footage, me

falling backwards.

That would be, yeah.

Ah, there's people walking, so I have to

pause for one second.

And we're good.

You guys looking at each other?

JD?

Yep.

Good.

Got it.

Beautiful.

Now you guys are going to walk.

You guys are going to hold hands.

You guys are going to walk.

When I have you guys look, when I

call, you're both going to look back at

me.

So hold hands.

You're going to walk in three, two, one.

And you're going to look back at me.

Nice.

Thank you.

Okay, we're going to just do one more

location.

Beautiful.

Uh, Sam, can you interlock your arm around

Taylor's elbow?

There we go.

And Taylor, have your hands in your pockets.

There we go.

Nice.

And then, uh, Sam, bring your, uh, scoot

your booty in closer to Taylor.

There we go.

Beautiful.

Eyes here.

Sam, rest your head on his shoulder.

Taylor, wake up.

We're going to get you a drink soon,

homie.

We're going to get you a drink.

In 10 years from now, in 10 days

from now, you're not going to remember any

of this.

I mean, you're just the best day of

your life.

Here you go, boo.

Here you go.

Fantastic.

JD, do you need, I want you to

get that angle.

Great.

Beautiful.

We'll end at the door, Sam.

We'll end at the door and then we're

good.

This is for you, boo.

Here we go.

No.

Um, are you guys okay walking through here?

Do you guys want to go ahead?

Okay.

Great.

So Ferris, can we just drop the dress

real quick so we can shoot them?

Sorry, love.

Okay.

So we just ended, uh, a portion of

the bride and groom.

So we went to areas one, two, and

three, and this, where the bride had mentioned

it, this is what she really wanted.

So I thought, how perfect would it be

for us to end the shoot here in

front of the store?

JD's getting it set up.

This is where we're going to end it.

It'll be special for the bride and groom

and a really perfect way just to end

their day entirely before they get back to

the hotel and enjoy a party.

So what I'm going to do first is

I'm going to shoot just a bridal portrait

of Samantha.

Then I'll add in Taylor.

Come up to the edge of the hedge,

uh, Ferris, right there.

And then back it up.

Back it up, back it up, back it

up, back it up.

A little bit more.

Are those your moves for the pool tonight?

Yeah.

Okay.

Back it up one more time.

One more time.

Ferris, sorry.

It was just light.

Now she's good.

Now I'm going to shoot this bridal portrait

at a 2.0, ISO 200.

I'm going to get a test shot real

quick.

Can I see where we are?

It's a little bit dark over here.

It just is.

I'm going to know that I'm going to

have to blow out the sky around her

and I'm just going to have to say

that that's going to be okay.

So right now I'm shooting this at a

200, at 2.0. Actually, I want to

shoot this.

I'm going to shoot it wide at a

1.2. Because it's only her and I

think that we can do a lot, a

lot of this stuff.

It's like kind of create some beautiful light

bokeh.

I'm going to shoot this at ISO 200,

640th of a second and an F 1

.2 shooting with a 50 millimeter.

Great.

I have the light where I want.

Now, when I initially had pulled back, when

I was shooting her from this area, I

blew out too much of the sky, which

became a distraction.

So instead of trying to get the sky,

I'm simply going to walk in and just

get this beautiful frame around her and get

some beautiful light.

I do have a natural reflector popping off

over here.

That's going to be adding a little bit

of light.

If this light was not here, it would

be far too dark to shoot this without

saving really precious skin tones.

Relax, relax the bokeh.

Relax it, relax it, relax it.

Beautiful.

Now bring it this way.

Good.

Now don't think about it anymore.

Just exactly.

Take a deep breath.

Beautiful.

Look down at the bokeh.

Beautiful.

Take a deep breath.

Relax that right shoulder and then bring those

eyes here to me.

Beautiful.

Slight smile.

Attagirl.

Look out towards that the brightest window of

them all.

Beautiful.

With your chin, not just your eyes.

There you go, girl.

Beautiful.

I'm going to peel in, adjust my light.

I'm at 1.2, 640 degrees a second,

200 ISO.

Beautiful.

I have you there.

Yes, at the bokeh.

Gorgeous.

Beautiful.

And then bring those eyes here.

Relax the forehead.

Take a deep breath.

Just relax the shoulders.

Beautiful.

Give me a nice smile.

The traditional Samantha smile because we have to

have a lot of those.

We'll have a mix.

We'll have a mix.

We'll have a mix.

Beautiful.

Relax it out.

Shake it out.

Beautiful.

Now give me your just regular good smile.

There you go, girl.

Beautiful.

Take a deep breath.

Relax.

I want you looking down at your bokeh.

I'm going to stand on my tippy-toes.

I'm going to shoot down at her so

I can get a nice, beautiful makeup shot.

I'm going to just do a little hair

adjustment.

I'm just adjusting hair to save time later.

Hang out there for one second.

I'm going to adjust the lighting to 500th

of a second because I'm shooting really nice

and close and tight.

Beautiful.

Take a deep breath.

Relax.

I'm shooting slightly down at an angle.

Bring the eyes up to me.

And then just relax that forehead.

Relax the forehead.

Beautiful.

Then bring those eyes.

Thank you, boo.

That's it.

I hear you.

I hear you.

He's fighting for it because you look so

good.

Okay.

We're going to look at JD.

Beautiful.

We're going to add Taylor.

We're going to add Taylor.

Taylor, let's scoot you back.

Let's get you close to the door.

I'm going to

shoot this at a 2.5. Great.

Beautiful.

Sam, relax that arm around his waist.

There we go, boo.

Beautiful.

Eyes at each other.

Taylor, hand around her waist.

On the inside of the bokeh around her

waist, turn your toes towards her.

Beautiful.

We'll do just one last light kiss.

There it is, friends.

Boom.

Great.

One more.

Hang out one second.

One more of those.

Thank you.

That was it.

I mean, it was crowd pleasing.

That was great.

High five, babe.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Huge sigh.

Huge sigh.

We just finished the bride and groom portraits.

What you guys saw us was shoot about

15 minutes.

And if you guys were intuitive and seeing

what was happening with the groom is that

he was exhausted.

They have been on all day.

They probably had maybe five minutes to themselves

all day.

I knew that because of that, I needed

to make this experience as quick as possible

and as effortless as possible.

As a result, we exchange hugs and affection

at the end.

So for me, it ends up on a

high note.

So the way that we ended up on

a high note was walking them through having

a plan of action and a map of

what we wanted to do.

I started the session by saying I wanted

to shoot in three locations by the trees.

We had a lot of green foliage.

Now, this was in addition to that minute,

like five minute photo shoot we had for

the bride and groom for press.

So I decided not to shoot so much

in the green area, but I decided to

shoot it differently.

I shot it tight.

I shot it with the 50 millimeter, the

first section of the greenery.

Then I shot it with the 35 millimeter

in the greenery of the end.

What I wanted to do is I wanted

to create depth between the bride and groom

and the trees in the background and the

sun shining through.

So we executed that in the first stage.

Then we went to the vineyard.

Now, I do know that I absolutely positively

overexposed the sky and I do know that

I overexposed a portion of the vineyard, but

I do also know that her dress was

saved and her skin was saved.

That's going to be my priority and hopefully

in post, I can bring back some of

the highlights and really get a photo that

I'm really proud of.

Technically, should I have been shooting with flash?

Should I had large reflectors?

Maybe.

Aesthetically, it was my decision and I stand

by it.

The last location we came over here by

the rose garden.

Now, the rose garden to me was like

a safe zone.

It was just a way to kind of

beef up their post wedding portfolio.

Do I think they're going to like the

photos?

Yeah, I do.

Do I think that I'm going to be

posting a lot of these on the blog

or in the slideshow?

Maybe not.

But by the time we came to the

door, now earlier in the day, the bride

had mentioned that she really wanted this door.

So in order for us to work it

back into it, we had great light and

I thought if I can use the door

as a symbolism to the end of the

day, I think that that would sell the

idea and that they would keep Taylor going

because he knew how much it meant to

Samantha.

We ended it here and we ended it

again on a high note.

They said, thank you.

We said we'd be in contact and we

absolutely will.

Now just to kind of give a closer

to the day, Samantha's mom is still in

the hospital.

She was supposed to be here at the

wedding.

So we had some communication and she had

said, I really want my mom to be

a part of it, but I don't think

she'll be able to make it.

And she was crying and I think it

hit like a nerve with me because I

knew how I felt when my mom had

cancer and I said, let's do what we

need to.

I'm willing to go right now to the

hospital because her mom was admitted to the

hospital.

She said, let me go to the hospital,

put on a white dress, have Taylor put

on a suit, and I will shoot you

guys there.

And she said, thank you so, so much.

But I want my mom to see me

is in my wedding dress.

So how about after the wedding, you come

out to the hospital and we will either

shoot at the hospital or we'll take her

out to a park nearby.

And I said, you have my word that

this wedding isn't complete until I shoot those

photos.

So I'm hoping that in the next few

weeks, I can bring this all back around.

Once they get back home, they kind of

decompress and then we'll take them out.

We'll head out to where her mom is

located.

I will do that on my own time

and on my own dime because they deserve

absolutely the best and the most.

So I hope that I can bring you

guys along with that journey, but that concludes

the wedding day and that is a complete

wrap.

Thank you guys for joining the highs and

the lows in that moment of stress.

I'm pretty sure I have a permanent crease

and then on my forehead from all the

stress and running back and forth, but we

made it through and I thank you guys

for joining.

Thanks.
