Tomorrow I'll be shooting my first wedding in the Carneros region of Napa Valley. The venue is right smack in the middle of vineyards with some interesting (at least to this photographer) trees, stairs and even a rustic white woodshed.In the midst of preparing my equipment my mind is contemplating creative shots that will bless the bride and groom with fond (and fun) memories and my heart is seeking the Lord for wisdom and guidance.
I may have mentioned this, but my husband and I never had a big wedding. Fact is we got married (30 plus years ago) at a justice-of-the-peace in Chandler, Arizona (we lived in Flagstaff), who (except for God) would have imagined I would be a wedding photographer!
God does have a sense of humor...and He uses it well.
In a whimsical kind of way, I get to live the wedding I never had over and over and over again. Yes, I do get teary-eyed when the bride first appears with her dad and my heart melts when I see the groom look at his bride and the first kiss of their marriage always stings my heart.
The best part however, is this... because I'm the photographer I get the best seat in the house--right up front!
Yes, every wedding is exciting to me and I have to confess...I LOVE MY JOB!!!!
