So much to say about this wedding…

First… Starr was stunning. You can clearly see that in the pictures. Linsey and I literally had to talk ourselves out of taking more pictures. At one point, we told Starr she had enough great shots to make an album entirely of her. After all was said and done, we really did get that many great shots of Starr. She just can’t take a bad picture.

Second… I love the Hawaiian crane thing. From what I understand, the Japanese tradition was to fold 1000 cranes for good luck and longevity in the marriage. The Hawaiian culture added one more, 1001 cranes, for even more good luck. I’m not sure how Justin and Starr felt about folding them, but they’re fantastic for pictures!

Third… Linsey was on fire. We have a little competition at weddings to see who takes the coolest or most unique pictures. Competition got going early when I used a chair to create shadows on Justin. From that point on, Linsey went nuts. Her winning shot is seen below… it’s the shot of the ceremony flowers with Justin and Starr in the reflection, upside down.

Fourth… what a fun wedding. It seems like all our couples this year have been amazing. We’re so lucky to work with them. Starr and Justin were no exception. It’s an honor to feel like friends who happen to take pictures at all our weddings.
