As I listened to President Barack Obama give the State of the Union Address, I thought about the state of all the unions I’ve been hired to photograph through the years. I’m happy to report that all of them are still blissfully married… Well, one of them actually ended their marriage amiably, but the groom hired me again for his next wedding, and is now happily married and madly in love after over a decade.

How important are the photos in keeping matrimonial bliss? I’d like to think that the couples working together and recommitting daily is what makes a marriage work, but having great memories and photos from the wedding day may help a little. What do you think?
