Chris and Valerie are now a happily married couple. They exchanged vows at Pioneer Convenent Church across the street from historic Sutter’s Fort. This church dates back to the Gold Rush days. It was quite a challenge to shoot there because the floors squeaked whenever you stepped across the aisles to take pictures of Chris and Valerie. It was also a beautiful church with its many leaded stained colored glass windows. The friends of the two were so helpful in keeping everything going and on an even keel. Stress was at a minimum but the heat was at a maximum as it almost reached 100 degrees as we departed the church after the vows. The poor wedding party was at the mercy of a limousine that provided no air conditioning. It broke at some point and transported a very hot and perspiring group for our bridal party shots at Capitol Park. You won’t see any of the stress of the heat because the whole group was so positive and supportive of the groom and bride and the photographer.
It was such fun to have been involved in this wedding as well a pleasure working with another great couple. My job as a photographer is a such a positive experience because I get to work with my son, Ty as my second and because I get to experience the sheer joy and love all my couple such as Chris and Valerie have for each other. The support of family is also a big factor in enjoying these events. Valerie’s father’s nervousness resulted in a restless night of sleep. Let’s just say he lost his cookies several times in the course of the night and day. He was an emotional basket case but he managed to keep it together in front of Valerie. This kind of life experience is something I get paid for-what a deal to be in the middle of one of the most important days of a person’s life and to be able to help out and get paid!!!!
So Chris and Valerie thanks for inviting me to be a part of your day. Ty and I really had a great time but more than that we wish for you a life of love, joy, happiness, and companionship for the rest of your lives. Bless you both. BQ
