the wedding
it was a catholic church wedding. with lovely stained glass windows. the church was in a neighborhood surrounded by homes. i introduced myself to the priest conducting the service and he mentioned that we all had to be out of there by 3.30 so he could listen to confessions. and the thought of listening to so many peoples confessions burdened me for him. but then i thought what do people that go to church really confess? one time someone told me that they often regretted that his g/f had an abortion but he never confessed that. i bet people don't confess that too often.
there was big time gap between the wedding and reception so not too many people were at the ceremony. the bride was 20 minutes early to the ceremony start time. that is unusual. blah blah blah it was a ceremony. where they stated their vows of commitment and they already had two children, one together and one i think was not. did you know that this kind of ceremony is not legal if you are homosexual in new york, nj, or pa.
we went to the art museum for photos which was fun. the limo driver was a sheriff and watched the cars while we did photos/videos. i think i want to save that part of the video before submitting my work.
bride was angry b/c the hall wouldn't let them in the room b/c they were still setting up. and there was no cocktail hour. they got there 45 minutes early and there was no comfortable place for them to go in the interim at the venue. she was livid. after the church i had followed the limo and we stopped at mcdonalds. i hadn't been in one of those since coming back from vt to use the bathroom in feb and we didn't get anything and before that i think it was a drive thru one in new jersey two years ago. did you know you can get any size coffee there for 99 cents? the groom treated me to a coffee. I shot him asking his wife what she would like and him placing the order along with the rest of the bridal party while the bride waited in the limo.
the bridal party was formally announced by the dj as they walked into the room. i would love to know where this tradition started. it seems so weird to me yet adds something to the event. the formal announced of the wedding party and the newly wed couple. it adds hype. formal recognition. something. yet it's kind of weird isn't it? when's the last time you threw a party and announced yourselves for doing something awesome?
so immediately after the b&g were announced i had to run from the entrance to the dance floor through the two tables with lots of people to get the b&g coming thru the arch of the bridal party as they made their way on to the dance floor for more celebrating and going into the first dance. that was a little tricky. i wanted to get the bridal party as they first walked into the room because that's where people have the most energy but the dance floor was a bit of a distance away. makes for tricky shooting when there's only one shooter
