The Photos Never Lie

The beautiful Sarah with her attendants--ASICO photos

One of my favorite moments as a designer happens every time I get that email from a bride saying "the photos are in!!" Months of planning, time spent creating, and that final delivery are all bound up with the hope that this small part of their day will be a compliment and a joyful addition to the beauty of the place and people about to make their vows.


Every designer knows that the photos won't lie!


So, it's often with relief as well as pleasure that I take the first look through the many many photos to see how it all turned out. 

Usually my first pass through is just a selfish search for photos that show the flowers off to their best advantage...like runway models in their designer fashions. 

But that second look gives me a chance to enjoy the couple themselves. Their hope and happiness is contageous!

All the angst about flowers fading, falling, breaking disappears as I see for myself that happy couple, and yes, that giant bouquet still intact!

Sarah and her husband Chris were SO much fun to work with, and the photos from their wedding just SING! They prove on their own what a privilege it is to get to do this kind of work. So I think I'll just let them speak for themselves, and wish Sarah and Chris a very long and happy life together!
