When I first met Pearl, I was blown away at how relaxed and comfortable she made me feel (when it should always be the other way around!). Pearl knew what she wanted in photography (she’s a photographer herself), and she trusted me. It was as simple as that; which left a lot of room for us to just hang out, relax, and be friends in our meetings before her wedding. When we showed up on the wedding day, I shouldn’t have been surprised when the atmosphere was exactly the same: relaxed and calm. Which left room for Pearl (and her friends and family) to soak it all in and enjoy the day. Pearl’s family and friends clearly cherish and delight in her. Her husband is crazy about her. Which made it an absolute joy to be a part of their wedding. Thank you Pearl and Rick for such an meaningful day, I hope you’re having an amazing time on your honeymoon!
