A beachy wedding | Long Island Wedding Photographer | Summer Lyn Photography

My very fist time shooting a wedding, and I hope not my last. What a wonderful day today. Here is where it all begins, and gosh it would be so nice to do this more- to see the couple from the beginning, their love on their wedding day. (I am already anxious for the maternity and newborn sessions with them, but I am told I will have to wait a long time!)

So, before my cop days, I went to school to become a doctor. What happened? I did an internship at a hospital under a cardiologist. One day, during rounds in the ICU, I was told, "Let's go get his wife. I have to tell her we are going to lose him today." As we told the wife, I was the one that started to well up and break down, and I decided that I couldn't be a doctor- that I can't bring bad news to someone, that I am too emotional, that I need to do something where I can remain calm and collected.

So much for that!

It is tough to remain unemotional when D and D were exchanging vows or when they danced their first dance. Okay okay, David Gray, This Years Love- who wouldn't cry?!

Through my tears I got some great captures. Here is just a sneak peak into the wedding of Diane and Dave- a day that I am glad I was able to take part of.
