I shot a wedding back on December 10. There was one particular lady in her mid to late 40's that was very "friendly"..... and drunk. She was dancing with everybody and having a wonderful time. She was always in front of the camera wanting me to shoot a photo. Well, one time she came at me wanting to kiss me (she was trying to kiss just about everybody)... in my defense, i quickly lifted my camera and started shooting. The flash cought her off guard and I escaped! But I got this shot which I really liked. I thought it was full of character. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks!
- Tom

Yeah baby! Yeah! ROFLMAO

I get to see two weddings a weekend and the drunk people never seem to amaze me.

Aren't you afraid you're gonna get sued for posting this?

nope.... The wedding I shot was actually for a good friend of mine. The DJ was also a good friend of hers, and the woman in this picture is the DJ's girlfriend. She's a cool person. If I didn't know the woman, I might have thought twice about posting it... even though I do own the rights to the photo and wouldn't need a release since I'm not making money off of it. Glad everyone is enjoying this shot as much as I did!
