There are few people in this world who would do anything they could to try to help you. It’s no big secret that I had a rough delivery and post-partum with my son, made all the more difficult by having no freakin’ clue what I was supposed to be doing. But a long-time friend who is a pediatric nurse came to my rescue, and got me through the first few months. So, when her husband told me that they were going to have a wedding to celebrate their 30th anniversary (since they didn’t have one when they married), I couldn’t wait to help.
I have not shot a wedding since college, and I only shot outdoors as indoor light and I don’t seem to ever get along. But I was willing to do my absolute best, and arrived at the church at 7:45 on a Saturday morning, pretending that I was a morning person and hadn’t missed my breakfast.
The setting brought some challenges, primarily poor lighting including the two rows of pink skylights that lined the church and zero lights in the reception hall. But I shot on, trying to get as many different takes of every special moment. I figured I was bound to like at least a few of the 500+ images.
So, while it will probably be another 12 years before I shoot a wedding again, I’m very happy to have had a small part in such a wonderful couple’s special day. To Jeff and Debbie, thank you for being such an inspiration. I look forward to the 60th celebration!
This was my wedding…Lisa did a awesome job and my wife looked like a million bucks…Great job Lisa thanks for the memories pics!
