First Wedding Photo Shoot (plus a date!)

Yesterday one of the guys in Andrew's office got married. Andrew offered to photograph the wedding. What an experience! He first met them at a park. They had also hired a professional to do three specific portraits. The photographer was very gracious. He invited Andrew to shoot along with him, and openly shared advice and information. What an opportunity to learn!

Bertha came to sit the kids. As promised on Tuesday, she arrived with her 'princess dress' and crown. The first thing the kids did was dress up. Fun! (Eva is on her fourth day running dressed as a princess. Thanks Ashe for the beautiful hand-me-down.) They later applied the glitter eyeshadow that our hairdresser gave the kids last time we were there. Bertha said that Micah was quite liberal with the blue and looked like a smurf by the time he was done.


I met Andrew at the church and assisted at the ceremony. He was in quite the state when I got there. Perspiring freely and talking at the speed of light. The heat in the church didn't improve his state of sweatiness. But it's all good.


Neither of us has attended a Mexican wedding before so we weren't entirely sure what to expect. The whole wedding party- including the groom- walked down the aisle in rapid succession so that was a bit of a surprise.

Andrew in action!

At one point in the ceremony a ton of people were crowded around the couple, taking photos and video. It was like paparazzi swarming!

By the time the wedding was over we were both exhausted. Andrew obviously more than me. It is hard work photographing a wedding. Hats off to Gary and Louise for their efforts in the wedding photography department!

Afterward we took in a flick. We both thoroughly enjoyed The Incredible Hulk. I spent much of the movie wide-eyed, heart pounding.
