Hello, my name is Aiden.
(My wife and I during our first dance. Photo by wonderful Kate McElwee.)
I suppose this is where I talk about myself.
As a kid, I grew up in the middle of nowhere in Delaware.
I’ve always been pretty good with numbers since I was little.
As soon as I got out of high school, I went away as far as I could for college.
Because that’s what geeky bored small town kids do.
Looking for something more.
A few years go by.
Staring into squiggly lines on on my handy TI graphic calculator.
That supposedly meant something.
I was not happy.
I had to do something about it.
I got up and left the Numerical Analysis class for good.
Walking down the dimly lit hall way.
One step at a time.
When I got to the end, I swung open the double doors and walked out to the world.
No longer limited by my own thoughts of what I should be doing.
I was free.
I packed up and moved to Boston.
A small town kid with some mad hope of becoming a rockstar.
A few years go by.
A lot of things have changed since then.
Not all.
I am still that same small town kid with big city dreams.
I am still chasing after happiness.
Don’t we all?
Through a series of unexpected events, I discovered my love for photography.
And it’s taken me to many places and many faces.
Truth be told, it hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows.
Nonetheless, I am still loving the process.
I capture and preserve joy, excitement, and happiness of two humans and their dearest.
As corny as it sounds,
I get to do what I love to do and that makes me happy.
Above all, I can be true to myself and put my heart in it.
Whether you are getting married in the city or in your backyard,
It would be my honor to document your real wedding day moments.
