My legs were sore. My back was tired. The camera strap was biting into my neck. And I couldn’t hold back the same, single, irrepressible thought. This is exactly what living is all about.

It was a wall-to-wall day without a second to spare, so full of life and action and excitement, you just couldn’t pack anything more in. Life doesn’t get any better than that. Shana was all smiles from top to bottom, start to finish, and Eddie delivered one of the most memorable set of vows I’ve ever heard. Pitch perfect.

By the end, as I stepped into New York’s thick, night air, looking up into the sky and breathing deep, I smiled. The day was fine reminder that weddings really are good stuff.
