\"How<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a wedding photographer is like reading a really good book every weekend,\u201d said photographer Jess Buckley<\/a>, whose work is above. \u201cI\u2019m invited into a joyful little universe, and I get completely sucked in.\u201d Below, Jess and four other photographers tell the stories behind some incredible shots\u2026<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u201cThis couple hosted a big backyard reception at their home. I was standing inside with the bride and her best friend, when the bride looked out the window and said, \u2018You\u2019ve got to be kidding!\u2019 Then she took off running out the back door. The bride\u2019s uncle had just arrived with his great dane, Winslow. It was the sweetest, funniest moment as the bride laughingly scolded him for bringing a large slobbery dog to her wedding. Meanwhile, the dog drooled, happily unaware.\u201d \u2014\u00a0Jess Buckley<\/a><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u201cNatalie and David had been together for a long time, and there was a joyous feeling of \u2018Finally!\u2019 from the couple and everyone in attendance.\u201d \u2014\u00a0Sarah Bode-Clark<\/a><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone was cheering after the couple\u2019s first kiss, and then a gust of cool November air made the veil flutter, as if it had been paid to be there. You can see their pure happiness of officially being married. That\u2019s always one of my favorite moments at a wedding.\u201d \u2014\u00a0M\u00e5lin Hillemann<\/a><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we were taking family photos, the groom asked to get one alone with his grandmother. I love this photo because I didn\u2019t direct it; that\u2019s just how they were interacting. I find that the in-between moments tend to hold the most meaning and beauty. Her cheek kiss and his laugh are just so warm. And I love that he is crouched down to his grandmother\u2019s level and that they\u2019re holding hands.\u201d \u2014\u00a0Sarah Bode-Clark<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bride\u2019s father was very stoic and quiet and wore sunglasses for most of the day. But right after the ceremony, he took off his sunglasses and really let himself lean into his feelings.\u201d \u2014\u00a0M\u00e5lin Hillemann<\/a><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u201cThis photo was taken right outside the iconic doors at the Manhattan City Clerk\u2019s office. Walking through these doors is the City Hall equivalent of heading back down the aisle at a large wedding. Many couples tell me that out of their whole wedding day, it\u2019s the moment they\u2019re most looking forward to.\u201d \u2014 Sylvie Rosokoff<\/a> (Ed. note: More City Hall weddings here<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as they kissed after saying \u2018I do,\u2019 a child in the aisle started wailing. I think he was just startled by all the commotion!\u201d \u2014\u00a0Diana Galay<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re married, did you have a particular funny\/sweet\/chaotic moment caught on camera? We\u2019d love to hear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

P.S. More about weddings<\/a>, including an elopement to the Alps<\/a> (!!), a twist on a first look<\/a>, a bakery proposal story<\/a>, and how would you make your wedding feel true to you<\/a>?<\/p>\n
