a rainy wedding

[ajbalazic]

An outdoor, backyard rainy wedding it was! I offered to photograph my wifes Aunt's wedding as our gift to them since they were not going to have a photographer (I know - I couldn't believe it either!). The excitement of my first wedding was dampened (litterally) by torential rains. I went on to publish a blurb book for them which they loved. All-in-all, I was relatively happy with the results and learned a tremendous amount which I'll apply to my next wedding in 2009.

Thank you. It was a "low key" wedding with no pomp and circumstance. The bride got dressed in about a minute! I asked her sons to pretend to throw her in the pond - that was fun.

Thanks you. I'm looking forward to my first paid wedding next year. I've been quietly observing and taking notes her in the wedding section - incredible work from so many people.

Thanks. I had a hard time with him and the BM - one always with hands in pockets, the other out. It's like they were doing it on purpose!

Thanks - the incidentals were nice to photograph because they were all in a white tent outdoors so the light was pleasant.
