The car coming up the drive, sunlight through the trees — the moment the day officially arrives. I'm always outside and in position before the bride's car appears, because arrivals only happen once and the anticipation is part of the story. The tree-lined approach to Mabie House makes this a genuinely lovely sequence to photograph, with the forest edge catching the light behind. Small planning tip for couples: tell your driver to come up the drive slowly. It gives your guests the moment, it gives you a breath, and it gives me three or four frames instead of one.
