A wedding is such an exciting day full of an array of emotions. The bride and groom are normally nervous, excited, giddy, and anxious. This past Sunday I was asked to photograph a bride and groom whose wedding had passed two weeks ago, thus attempting to recreate and capture that "once in a lifetime" moment. Their story is actually an unfortunate one. They hired a professional photographer to take their wedding portraits and also candid photos of the day. First off, he arrives an hour late, almost missing the start of the wedding. Second, he shows up looking a little too casual wearing ripped up jeans and flip flops. Lastly, when it was time to gather the wedding party for portraits, he failed to take any of the bride and groom by themselves. Hoping to get a few after they had some food in their stomachs, the bride and groom sat down to eat. About a half hour later the photographer leaves and sadly, no portraits were taken. Therefore, this Sunday I was asked if I would be so kind as to try and capture the way they felt that day. Although the couple may not have had all the same feelings that they did on their wedding day, the pictures still turned out well, showing their laid back and silly attitudes. I actually think that these portraits depict them better than ones that would have been taken with the whole wedding party watching.
