I love the in-between moments during weddings. It’s one thing to setup a beautifully composed portrait, which I also love doing, but the raw emotions that happen through out a wedding day is what gets my heart pumping.  This destination wedding I shot in Napa Valley Winery last month for Aileen & Doug was no exception. This was probably my favorite moment from the wedding! Aileen had just given her mom a picture necklace. In it, it had their favorite photos together.  I was standing outside of the bridal prep room to give them some privacy. I peeked in, and caught this tender moment.  I may, or may not have shed a tear or two.
