When Amy & Johnny got engaged and started their destination wedding planning in Hawaii, there was no doubt in my mind how significant and beautiful this wedding was going to be. Of course I accepted the honor of being her wedding photographer.
But that wasn't the only thing on my plate. I was also tasked with being the officiant for the couple. And managing my videography team throughout the entire day. The pressure mounted immensely — and so did the meaning behind it all.
It turned out to be everything I hoped it would be. Old friends from middle school and high school filling the room. Decades of shared history in one place. And then there was Jamie — Amy and Johnny's daughter, who had just turned one — making the whole celebration feel even more alive. She didn't just attend the wedding. She owned it.
