I was pleasantly surprised when Helm called me a few months back to see if I'd be willing to photograph his wedding. He'd gone through several channels before finally getting a hold of me, and it seemed like he was pretty intent on hiring me on the spot. I've known Helm since the first grade and hadn't talked to him since high school so it was wonderful to hear that he was doing well and that he'd gotten engaged to Jade (his long time girlfriend and a schoolmate of ours). Exciting! The wedding turned out to be a quasi-reunion of sorts, and I would see friends I hadn't hadn't seen in a long time. It certainly was a fun and quite monumental. 

(I got some help on shooting this wedding from Jonas Maon, aka "umbrella light guy" and Lauren Victoria aka "baby attention getter and smiler". You guys rock!)
