"This is the uncle we warned Mitchell about!" I laughed when my niece Sarah introduced me to her husband to be on Friday night. Mitchell was the photographer they hired to do the wedding. I'm not comfortable in crowds or during ceremonies so I was planning to come and shoot pictures so Sarah and Mark could have extra shots and something maybe the other photographer wasn't able to get. I always like seeing pictures other people take at weddings--acknowledging those pictures are great additions to their album. The wedding photographer can't capture everything. The best he or she can do is document the moments that together tell the story in a beautiful way. So Mitchell was 'warned' that I'd be there with my camera and he was very cool about it. We even talked about gadgets and styles of photographs a bit as well. So I wasn't really making the pictures for their album, but supplements perhaps or maybe a second little album off to the side of their official one. It was fun to be with my family, but also do what I do. I am a fish out of water at weddings if I'm not working, so this was a great way for me to able to enjoy my niece's wedding--working, but totally unofficial! She is a great beautiful young woman who has found a nice young man. It will be exciting to watch their marriage grow! Photographs by Richard 'Uncle Dick' Sayer.
PS by the way--those pictures that others take--so far the best picture I've seen from the wedding my 18 year old(who I really thought couldn't possibly be more than 14 or 15-- I'm getting old) niece Rebecca took of Sarah and her dad walking down the aisle. It was a beautiful photo captured with a nice panning blur and great light!!!!!! I might need an assistant at Josh's wedding Becca!!!
pps-these are some cell phone pics--the higher quality photos will come later.
ppps... I just got this not on facebook from Becca...'Uh oh.. Just looked again, unfortunately I can't take credit. Jeff took that and sent it to me by request. Sorry for false advertising!' She is great! And insert Jeff Arscott's name above!
