A lucky man.

No it is not the groom that is lucky, well he is really lucky also , but I am lucky to be able to get to work with such neat kids as they start their lives together. Weddings scare a lot of photographers and rightfully so since it is such a special day and there is so much that can go wrong for a photographer. There are time limitations, equipment failures and lighting that is just plain hard to work with but it is also very rewarding. The fact that you get to preserve memories for a bride and groom. The words of the ceremony are very wise but never remembered very well. The cake, well most of it gets eaten quite quickly or thrown out except for that little bit that gets partially eaten a year later and then thrown out. The guests are there all happy about the event, especially the food, and "OH! Can you get these pictures done quickly I'm hungry" has been said more than once. Then there is the whole event itself that is just a blur for the wedding couple UNTIL they get their pictures and then it's "I didn't remember what happeed, Wow, is that what we served?", or "I don't remember doing that!"  Yes, I am lucky because I am the one who has only one of a very few things that really gets remembered from that special day. There is the wedding certificate that hopefully gets framed for all to see and then the wedding album that brings the blur of the day back into focus "I hope, did  I mention equipment failures that could happen?" Well usually it doesn't but it is always a possibility not to mention hard drive failures and other such things..
