On August 28, I had a great time shooting the wedding of Marcia and Jeremy.
Of course, this blog entry is a few weeks late from that event. But that’s what happens when, following three great weddings in a row you decide that in your down time you’re going to both catch a cold and throw your back out. There’s nothing like excruciating pain to keep you from sitting at the computer for the hours necessary to process the photos.
Enough of my problems, though. I’ll get over the back pain. In the meantime, here’s a preview shot of Marcia from the formals session.
One of the things you can always count on with weddings is that element of semi-controlled chaos. Or to put it another way, ever-changing plans.
We were originally going to do a fairly standard schedule for the formals, but a sick child threw a bit of a twist on things. The poor kid was having a bad reaction to a shot he received the day before and really needed to go home. So, we threw the schedule out the window and improvised, getting as much of the family stuff done as quickly as possible.
Although we didn’t get to follow the original plan, we still had a lot of fun and got some great stuff.
Also, did I mention that I wound up shooting this wedding on the day of the annual zombie walk in Lincoln? They didn’t set the date for the walk until after I booked the wedding and I was a little bummed to miss it.
But…
Because Marcia and Jeremy are such an awesome couple, they felt bad about me missing the carnage and got me a zombie gift bag, complete with a bag of fake blood candy.
I’ve known Mallory for a couple of years now. She worked as a barista at my second home and is one of maybe 3 people on the planet that knows how to make a Caramel / Irish Cream toddy latte exactly how I like it.
It was a sad, sad day when she left the Meadowlark Coffee shop.
However, what wasn’t a sad day was her commitment ceremony to her beau, Tim. And I was more than happy to act as their photographer for the day.
The entire ceremony and reception took place at a local park and had a very informal and loose atmosphere. Midway through the festivities, Mallory and Tim gathered everyone around and explained how much they meant to each other and vowed their commitment to one another.
Despite it being about 9 billion degrees out, it w
as a fun afternoon.
I wish them both the best… but I miss my lattes.
