Anytime I can reference a Lord of the Rings quote to someone, anyone, and especially at a wedding, I just know it’s going to be a good day. I won’t go into details, but it involved a past bride and the fact that I was now Todd the White. I had flown through space and time, evolved if you will, and she had no power over me. We all laughed a good laugh, and I went on my merry way taking pictures as I do.
Marissa and Tom’s wedding was blessed with a typical Half Moon Bay day, which is slightly overcast and cool. A win win for brides in dresses and photographers trying to avoid harsh light. The Pacific Ocean was also right next door, and that’s a win for everyone involved. Any day at the beach is a good day, right? And so it was, on this fantastic beach day that Tom and Marissa merged their two lives and will go forward as one. I consider myself lucky to witness and photograph such happiness, coupled with the right amount of free spirit and goofiness. May the good times continue to roll…
