The day the bride was born,
her father bought this bottle of wine

WOW, Max, I'm loving all your wedding images! If I wasn't married I would for sure want you to take my wedding pictures! I have a daughter in law that is just beginning her business of people photography and I told her about some of your images. To me people are hard to photograph. I think I do better with nature and stills. Occasionally images of my grandchildren and dogs.Thanks again for sharing all your fabulous images with us and thanks for your tips.
