I never look forward to doing weddings. The entire day this past Friday, I was dreading the drive, dreading the entire ordeal and hoping somehow I could get out of it (it's a wedding, of course I can't get out of it...). I hadn't met these people, I had no idea what I was getting into and it had been several months that I'd photographed a wedding and the first one above all makes me nervous.
But then I did drive out there and I met the bride and her lovely daughters and her adorable grandson and I met the groom and they were all so stinking *nice*... and their wedding was beautiful and they were so obviously in love with each other...
I remembered why I enjoy photographing weddings so much. Okay, so sometimes they are very long days and sometimes the bride really isn't so nice or maybe the bride and groom don't particularly seem to like each other let alone seem in love... but most are like the wedding I had on Friday. The bride was beautiful. The place was decorated nicely and everyone pitched in and helped set up the taco feast for the reception and I once again was floored by the luck that I have to get to spend such a Friday night. I talked with several of the guests and everyone was having a good time and everyone was friendly...
It's just so great to do something you love for work.
I wish I could do it all the time.
