• Last Nights Wedding Capades!

  Well it was one of those beautiful nights, the stars were out the weather was a cool 68 degrees and our Bride and her Bridesmaids were a hour and fifteen minutes late to the church. So what to do, what to do? Well, after I rushed to get there at 3pm for a 3:15 shoot, we shot some of the church surroundings, the set up and decorating going on and then we just S.A.W. which means, we just SIT AND WAIT.

  

  At 4:35pm the limo pulls up and 8 women, 2 flower girls and our Bride step out to the waiting room at the church to get organized, check their flowers and then the fun begins. I only have 20 minutes to shoot all the images of the Girls and the bride with her parents. Well, with this group of gals it all came together and we did it, not all perfect mind you, but I shot most of the photos I needed for their Storybook album design.

  

  

   

  I don’t think I ever moved that fast before, we were loosing light and it was getting very dark out and the Limo had to return to the hotel to pick up the guys and it was 5pm already. They were all to be there seating people by then. At 5:10pm the limo is back with the Groom and his men, some just a little bit tipsy from celebrating a little too early. So its off like a race horse with the church coordinator to start to pin their flowers on, get a few shots of the groom, and I mean just a few, then its show time at 5:40pm. I’ll try to have a web show up in a couple of days. This was a beautiful wedding and every guest was treated to all sorts of surprises at the reception. The attention to detail from the music, the decorations and the food was excellent. The reception was held at Sacramento’s elite Arden Hills Country Club . More to come so check back in a few days!
