Ok so you may be asking yourself a "Braveheart style" wedding. Well sort of. I always tell people that many times good wedding images come from 1st.) have fun Becky & Rick fit this criteria for great images perfectly. It`s the biggest day of your life and possibly the biggest party you`ll have in your honor. #2) have a good relationship with your photographer. For me, as many of you know, I like to laugh and always have fun. So, if you are the same we will get along GREAT! # 3) as a photographer that likes to push the conventional thoughts of what "traditional" wedding photography should be, I often encourage props in images. In this case it was very unexpected. #4) "1st look" this is becoming more popular these days. Rick & Becky opted to do this. This is when the couple opts to see each other for a few minutes before the ceremony. It allows us to get some really great images w/o the stress of being on a time line for the reception or guests. It also enables you to enjoy the day w/o being pulled in & out of the day for images. Many of the wedding images in magazines are done this way. For me, it`s becoming more popular with about 25% of my clients agreeing to this. The 1st time they see each other is magical.
Married at the Winter Park Civic center on what turned out to be a beautiful day for a wedding even though just days before we had treacherous weather with tons of rain. As a matter of fact I remember Rick being a little concerned when we met days prior (Rick i`m sure you remember as well...LOL) But it worked out perfectly.
This was the 1st time I ever photographed a wedding where the best man wore a REAL SWORD ala Braveheart. I`m not kidding. He even had the extreme talent to make it himself. He was armed in case anyone stood up who objected to thier marriage. Well, as you can guess not 1 objection. This gave new meaning to "crowd control". The sword came in quite handy during the cake cutting as well. Another 1st for me.
It was really nice to see the 2 families and there dynamics get along so well. It felt like a family reunion at times. We also got to hear Rick do some singing along with some of his good friends that were there. Can`t remember the song, but I think from the 80`s... I`m glad they all have day jobs.
Thank you all for a fantastic time.
Until Next time,
SC
