On Photographing a Wedding...

Parking my car. Grabbing my bag. Walking down the street. Festival all around. Moonwalk. Booths. Sidewalk. Kind man makes kind comment. Smile as I open the door. Slipping inside. Wedding set up ambiance. Wedding colors: purple, black & white. Meeting the lady in charge. Making introductions. Meeting the Groom. Setting up my stuff. Finding the corner to stash my bag. : ) Seeing my friend. Meeting the Bride. Meeting the bride's best friend. Meeting the family of the bride & groom. Little children all around. Snapping photos. Conversations everywhere. With the bride. Best friend putting on her make up. Peaceful and calm in the room. Bride smiles. Snap a pic. Finding the groom. Photographing the guys. Some cake too. Groom pics. Outside. Brick wall. Back with bride. Dress is so pretty. Stunning. Beautiful. Lovely. All of the above. Pics with gals. Time for a wedding! Line up. Aisle walk. Bride with her dad. Dad gives his little girl away. Pastor. Marriage. Mr. & Mrs. glow with happiness. Two become one. Covenant forever. Hugs of congratulations. Outside pics. Sunlight. My favorite time of day. Group pics. First dances. Wedding meal. More dancing. Toasts. Happy tears. Hugs. Change cards. Cake time. No smashing. : ) Dancing goes on. Fun tunes. Oldies. Newbies. Twist & Shout. Happy couple. Happy guests. Time to pack up. Saying goodbye. Hearing the bride express her gratitude. Makes my night. Walking down the hall. Saying more goodbyes. Hearing the groom express his gratitude. So sweet. Walking to my car. On my way home to visit with my out of town family and pick up half price milkshakes. : ) Reliving the day in my head. Feeling that sweet sense of joy. My heart is so thankful. Doing what I love to do - photographing love...I love doing what God has called me to do for HIM...all for HIM.
