The moments before

Jona & Jonas were married last weekend in a sunny, warm and beautiful ceremony at the Lodge at Sonoma. Since people often ask why I like to arrive at a wedding at least an hour before teh ceremony, I thought I'd pop up some of the photos from the 10 minutes before a ceremony to help illustrate. The time right before is a ceremony is full of tension, joy, anxiety and so many other feelings. For the first 20-30 minutes after I arrive, everyone is a little self concious and too aware of the camera. As soon as everyone is used to me being there, I can get shots of actual emotion.

Congratulations to Jona and Jonas!
