There is something unique about a military wedding, and I really enjoy photographing them when I have an opportunity. I don’t know if it’s the refined military regalia, or working with people who know how to follow direction really well.

After photographing her brother’s wedding, and her cousin’s wedding, it seemed a natural fit to photograph Sandra’s Villa wedding, too.
