You must be wondering why my husband is holding a ball peen hammer just a few short hours after walking his sister down the aisle. Greg's family are a riot. His Dad is a high risk OB that drove from Virginia with a rusty saw blade in the back of his car. He got Tom to help him last night at the rehearsal dinner and Tom got Tim and Todd to play along. So at a break in the festivities they carry this big, round blade in a stick and start banging on it. This is known as a Chivaree - or a way to devil the new couple on their wedding night. So we brought my Dad's old hammer to a wedding - my purse was really heavy.
So, the youngest of the nine is now married. All have either been married, a few more than once or are divorced. Seven of them have reproduced or married into families that made t!'s wedding next Saturday night.
I took very few pictures yesterday. I was totally undone by all the pros wandering around with all the equipment. And I haven't a clue how to shoot in wedding reception light. I had a lot of lens envy and lighting envy going on. But then my niece introduced me to her date of the night. The guy made my evening. I know who you are You're the photographer.
Just love family fun and jokes! I know what you mean about wedding photographer envy... they always seem to be in the best places, with the best equipment and they usually have young knees and get up and down much quicker than I can!
Aww! What a sweet thing to say to you! LOL! Wonderful portrait of these two, Kathy! Next time, just get up and shoot what you want and don't give the so-called pros a second thought! You take great pics!
Your family sounds like they are hilarious ; ) LOVE IT. (You must have been carrying a fairly large purse!!! So glad everything went well. I'm with you on the "lens envy".
"You're the photographer." - bet that made your day! :D
