This weekend was craziness. Caleb and I shot TWO weddings this past weekend and although we had a blast, I got really sick halfway through the second wedding on Sunday. It got pretty bad, and thankfully my husband was able to finish up the 'dancing shots' at our second wedding.
Weddings really are amazing to me. It's so fun to be able to see how different each and every wedding is and how each couple can bring their own unique personalities to their big days!
What's even more fun is when WE get to enjoy weddings, too...and we kind of pretend its a "free date night". I mean, we get dinner, cake, AND get to enjoy the dance floor a bit, too. We ended up chatting with the videographer and he said he thought it was "cute how naive and happy we acted at these weddings" and that after we've done over 100 we'd get over that initial joy...HA! I didn't let it offend me, because you know what? He was kinda grumpy, and that must just stink to have that kind of attitude, because we truly had a blast!
I love love. Happy Tuesday, friends!
Two of our good friends got married on Saturday, I'm going to post about it today or tomorrow, but they hired a box photography studio (Trotter) and they showed up for just the wedding part and left 1/2 hour after the reception started. We felt so bad for them that Keith turned into their photographer and filled our camera for them. During the ceremony the lady took maybe 5 pictures. It made me real sad for them!
ReplyDeleteHow sad the videographer feels that way! I think the fact that you love love so much is what makes you such great photographers! Who wants a cynical grump involved in their big day?? Not me!!!
ReplyDeleteWe went to a wedding this weekend & thought the same thing - each wedding is very different and special! P.S. just FYI, I copied one of your posts today but of course I gave you credit :) Have an awesome Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I love the excitement of weddings, they are all wonderful in different ways! I work with someone who has the same crummy attitude the videographer had- I don't think the joy wears off if you actually like what you are doing when you start!
ReplyDeletethat is so fun! that definitely sounds like a date night to me! this is so fun! that videographer needs to get over it... geez!
ReplyDeleteSo sad that the videographer feels that way :( I haven't been to a ton of weddings but they have all been so different. I think it would be fun to get to see all the different things people do - especially since paying attention to that stuff is kind of your job as a photographer!
ReplyDeleteI love weddings too! That guy does just sound like a big old grump. Gorgeous last photo <3
ReplyDeleteyay this just made my heart smile! Sorry you got sick but yay for good teamwork!
ReplyDeleteGrump. Don't ever lose that wonder and joy. If you do it's time to get out of the business!
ReplyDeletePhewww one weekend down! :) I'm glad Caleb could finish it when you didn't feel well! And you're right - that's sad for him that he has that attitude!
ReplyDeleteWhat a negative nathan that videographer is. I have no doubt you will still feel that way after 100000 weddings because you are living a life you love and doing what you LOVE. Silly videographer. I hope you are feeling better friend.
ReplyDeleteI love your attitude. Shouldn't you want to do something that makes you that happy every time you do it? Isn't that most people's goal in life? Well boo on him.
