Just finished up my first wedding. Eek. Even thought it's May and it's been beautiful all week, today the clouds decided to let loose. We enjoyed a day with rain storms, hail, even snow. Can't really expect anything different in Newfoundland. But even though the weather definitely didn't cooperate, it was still a beautiful day.
I realized that I love shooting weddings. I've never thought I would overly enjoy photographing weddings, because honestly, I never liked going to them as a guest. But there's something about being alone with two people who are in love, after all the family photos and the group shots are done, and just helping them let loose on their first day together. Helping them come to the conclusion that this is their time to shine, together. It's beautiful, magical even, watching love unfold in front of you.
I've known Norm for the longest time, and I remember about a year or two ago when he came home from Winnipeg and boldly announced that he had, in the space of a week, met the girl that he was going to marry. We all thought he was crazy, but you actually followed through. Props to you, buddy. You have a beautiful wife, and though I've only just gotten to know her in the past few weeks, that woman has the patience of Job. She's so beautiful, inside and out - Treat her well, Norman. ;) She definitely deserves it.
Even though it was FREEZING, even though Crystal lost her shoe, even though the umbrella broke and nobody wanted to stand outside and smile in the middle of a hailstorm, thank you so much for giving me a chance to share this day with you. Oh, and thanks for buying me McDonald's, too. :) Here's to Crystal and Norm.
