The Details
Never getting over charming backyard weddings in coastal Connecticut. Allison + Callum made every single human (including me) at their wedding feel like complete family. They welcomed me into their amazing community of family and friends, and I felt like their built in best friend/paparazzi for the day (and I say paparazzi and not photographer because they looked too effing good, like celebrity status good).
What I loved most about being a part of this intimate wedding was hearing their story about how and why they decided to get married. Allison + Callum are from California. They decided to make the move to Connecticut as Allison accepted a job to be a midwife at a center in New Haven. She spends almost every single second thinking about everyone else but her. It's no surprise that after several years of insisting on not wanting to get married, she realized how important the idea was to Callum, and changed her mind. I've literally never heard of anything sweeter (and I've heard A LOT of wedding vows).
Photographing sentimental weddings like this (while you're unmarried yourself) really makes you realize what you want in a partner. It made me realize I want someone like both of them. Their love is selfless and unconditional -- the type of love that brings one half of you across the country, so the other half follows.
I can't wait to keep cheering them on, from near and far. I hope for a hundred more Allisons and Callums in front of my camera.
