It has been now been 17 days since I married my high school sweetheart, my best friend, the love of my life. Bryan and I have already dubbed that day the best of our lives (yet at least). In fact, it took a while for the post-wedding blues to s...ubside. Lucky for us, Leah was unsurprisingly able to capture every feeling, moment, and memory from our most beloved day.
Bryan and I look through her pictures often (okay...often meaning every night) and each shot Leah took brings back ALL of the feels! We perused them again just last night and her photographs had us teary-eyed, belly laughing, and simply in awe (and often all of those emotions were felt from a SINGLE photograph). Leah knows exactly which photos/moments to capture and for our special day, she even asked if I had any ideas or shots I wanted captured, knowing how us brides can be. Being well aware of the amount of talent Leah Miessler has in her pinky finger, I didn't feel the need to chime in. Wow...was I right. Leah, thank you for capturing the most special day of my life and more importantly, giving Bryan and I the ability to be and feel completely present at our wedding...we never once worried about a moment being lost because we knew you'd catch it on the other end of your camera. Our families, Bryan and I (and especially our vendors) worked extremely hard on every single detail of that wedding and she 100% captured everything in the most brilliant, memorable, and utterly magical way possible.
My favorite thing about wedding photographs is being able to reminisce or imagine what that day was like if you weren't really there (or if it has been a very long time). I've spent countless hours peering over my own parents' wedding pictures and they had very few (and a lot of them were too formal or blurry), making it challenging to imagine those moments. Well, it makes me smile to imagine the day (way, WAY down the road) that my little boy or girl will get to pour over the pictures Leah took of Bryan and I, knowing that they will be able to feel all of those emotions we felt and experience the day as close to reality as possible. Leah captured our love and being able to share that with family is what it's all about.
Leah. I can't express our gratitude enough. I have said it once and I will say it over and over again, any significant/photo-worthy milestone in our lives will be captured by you. Your work brings our home to life and I can't wait for the next time I am picking up the phone to request your talent again.
