Michael and Julie An evening wedding reception

One evening, from the set table to the last toast.

One room, one long table, forty people who love them. Red roses on a white cloth, a cello warming up in the corner, and then the doors opened and Michael and Julie walked in to the music.

I love evenings like this. Nobody is posing. The speeches run long, the phones come out, the cake gets cut a little crooked, and somewhere in the middle of it all the two of them forget I am there. That is when I take my best pictures.

Michael, Julie: thank you for the seat at your table. Be happy, for a long time.
