Amanda and Joey's Wedding
This week is starting out behind schedule. I photographed Amanda and Joey's wedding last Satuday. I was there until after midnight. By the time I finished everything back in the studio, I did not get to bed until 4:00 AM and slept until 1:00 PM. Yet I was still dragging on Sunday. Sunday night, I went to be early (ok early for me) at midnight. So this morning I was surprised to see the clock said 11:00 by the time I got out of bed. Boy I must really be missing a lot of sleep over the last couple of weeks. Well a new baby will do that to you. Michah is still not sleeping through the night.
Today, is Columbus day and Meghan had a day off from school. I decided to play hooky from Magical Moments and took the kids to the zoo. It was a fun time. After spending time with the kids, we like to ask them what was their favorite part. Mathew's answer was seeing the zebras. Meghan, melted my heart and let me know that taking the day off was the right thing to do. What did she say? "The best part of today, was spending it with daddy!" For me the best part of the day at the zoo was seeing my kids smiling and having fun.
Now I have to take a moment to say something about Amanda and Joey's wedding last weekend. Most of the day was typical wedding. The weather was perfect. Who would have guessed we'd have such a nice day in October. We did get some great shots at the Shedd. But all in all, a typical wedding day. But when we arrived at Porrett'a, all of that changed. The food there was simply the best I've ever seen for a wedding. It was a culinary work of art. It started with an hors d'ouvres buffet with at least fifty different items to choose from. One could have made a meal from the hors d'ouvres. Next was the meal itself. Soup, salad, Chicken and Filet Mignon were served. By the time the main course arrived, I was filled. I was so filled I couldn't even look at the desert table. It was a visual and culinary master piece. Petit fours, frest fruit and pastries were all included on the desert table.
Amanda and Joey were great hosts. Despite this being their big day, they were so concerned with making sure everybody had a good time. Even the videographers, DJs and myself. Everytime I ran into the bride or groom they said to eat some more. Who is going to argue with a bride on her wedding day. Certainly not me!
I'm finally beginning to catch up. I have two weddings to process and post and then I can start working on the album backlog. Right now that is about 6 albums. But that could change at a moments notice. Maybe one day I will get totally caught up!
