I’m thrilled to learn I received my second Fearless Award! It’s an honor and I’m so very thankful. Awards like this make me continue to push harder each time I shoot a wedding as there is always something to capture. Let me give you some background on this image: I shot this while second shooting for Todd Laffler a few months ago. The groom, Sam, was nervous to see his bride Christine for the first time. He asked me to give him a “30 second warning”. So I did. And this was his reaction.
