The first thing I learned this day is that my weather app is about the least reliable in the history of ever. I parked a couple blocks up to walk over to the hotel for getting ready shots only to find out it was not in fact going to be a clear day for a garden wedding at the Arboretum for Loren and Allan. I for sure was way more upset about walking in the rain to my car then Loren would show the entire day. Not only beautiful but seriously… I think she was marrying Allan because she loves him and could not care less about the weather or where they did it. I never saw her show any feelings about the weather for one second! I was so moved by that.
I know, I don’t post for months and months (feels like a year) and then wham, two in one week. It’s funny how I love actually documenting weddings, working with the people and witnessing all the emotions.. but working the business end has never been my forte. I don’t dig trying to BE hired or finding clients or any aspect of operating my own business other than having no boss. Kinda ironic. But at the end of the day I try very hard to provide creative, timeless images that show authentic relationship dynamics, artistically using the provided lighting when possible and supplimenting when I have to.. like this wedding, mostly indoors.
I love these.. is this Lisianthis? SO perfect.
You know what, maybe absolutely nothing in life can be predicted with any certainty. We just have to roll with what we get and make the best of it, and live life to the fullest. I absolutely LOVED this wedding because of the attitudes of everyone who was present- the staff at the Arboretum also worked so hard to help things flow naturally. And to the lovely officiant.. I still have your brolly’s…
