It’s a funny feeling going between the extreme emotions of laughing until your stomach hurts and crying your eyes out. I’m not sure if I’ve felt it to this degree until photographing Paula & Joseph‘s wedding.

Just by looking at the pictures, you can tell the kind of love they have for each other and their families. Paula came to the states from Taiwan to do an ESL program and who would have known that within a year she would meet her future husband and move to San Diego? It was a very bittersweet day as she celebrated coming together with the love of her life, while at the same time, saying goodbye to her friends and family in Taiwan.
Here is their slideshow. Sometimes I feel inclined to explain some things like who is who in the photos, but more times than not, I think you can tell exactly who mommy, daddy, uncle, auntie, best friend, sibling, etc. are. It’s amazing how much one photograph can say.
Warning: When you get to the part with the father/daughter and mother/son dance – you might want to grab a hanky! I sure needed one.

I see what you mean…so much love present…I can really feel it through the photos. Nicely done!
DARN YOU!…boooohooooo
….in a good way…
Paula is so cute with her dimples. Your photos represent the true emotions that should be included in a wedding day. Definitely one of my favorites..
