A Young Best Man

Best Man at nine years old. Yes, and one up to the job and beyond. He even performed at the reception with his sister as back up pianist. This was indeed a beautiful summer wedding day in New Hampshire for a wonderful bride and groom. Here are photos of this special young best man.

Color Photographs: The C-Print
