My First Wedding

The very first wedding that I photographed was of a lovely elderly couple back in 2007.  This was their second marriage and they both wanted to be married in their community church.  This was not a traditional wedding and that’s what I loved about it.  The bride wore a lovely blue and white dress and the groom wore a nice suit.  They walked down the isle together and greeted their guests with hugs and handshakes.  You could definitely feel the love all of the attendees had for the couple and vice-versa.  There were no bridesmaids or groomsmen, just them.  The reception was a lot of fun as well.  I had always heard of the “chicken dance”, but had never seen it until then.  I almost couldn’t shoot for laughing.  They even had Sonny and Cher impersonators who performed.  It was so much fun and the people were so great, I felt more like a guest than just the photographer shooting the wedding.  It was a truly lovely wedding and I was very pleased to be a part of it.
