There are no words for that moment at a final fitting when I see a bride in her completed wedding dress for one last time. It cannot be described. It can only be felt.

I cannot stop myself from feeling the magnitude of the moment. It is the moment when it all comes together. From our first meeting, a connection without words, transformed into a dream come true.

With some brides it is a giddy moment of excitement.

With others, a happy tear of joy is shed.

For this brief, yet utterly important time in her life, a bride passes through mine. Leaving something of herself in my heart as she leaves to make her appearance at the other end of the aisle – ready to leave her groom & guests breathless with emotion as they see her for the first time.

That moment is why I do what I do (and loving it so).

It is my wish for every bride to experience her moment.
