a rainy wedding

ajbalazic · 20th of December 2008 (Sat)

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.

To share...

1.

2. you can see the rain in the background - under a super dark gazebo with a request by the minister to not use flash

3.

4.

5. I thought they might like this in the album as proof of how much it rained

6.

7.

8.

If you care to see more and comment... judy&doug

Thanks.

Interesting photos. Thanks.
The bride, nevertheless, was necessary to bathe in pool?

Good luck with your wedding in '09!

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.
