Now you're wondering, Why do I come to a picture blog that has more words (and not even fun words—technical, consumer reports kind of words) than pictures. Pictures are coming. And not just of cats. Catching up on retouching and preparing for a wedding and recovering from the wedding take time...
One more post about the wedding.
The previous post was written in the frame of mind I was in as I was going through the wedding, where I had all kinds of pains and no one to listen. Then I downloaded the pictures and started to marvel at just how brave this couple was. I could have been all huffy and whiny and complained to everyone that my bags were heavy and my shoes were full of water. But I didn't. I definitely had a scowl on when I arrived at the reception, but things could have been worse.
The couple seemed to be going on little more than a sister's friend's recommendation—someone I hadn't shot for or with—when they decided to have me shoot their wedding. If you want me to shoot your wedding, it means I'm going to follow you around all day, be in the background of your friends' photos, tell your mom what to do, eat your food, and possibly piss you off on your big day. Kind of a huge honor for someone to decide they want me to be there for all that. Especially when they have no idea how I'll react to the pressures of a guest causing my lights to misfire or my camera slowing down because is near death.
When I looked at it all that way, I felt a lot more "wow" than "ow."
