I love when I get to listen to reception speeches because the people giving the speeches always know the bride and groom to a Tee. So when Megan’s bridesmaids cheerfully teased her indecision and excessive questioning personality it made sense that her first email to me involved a list of 15 questions. I love answering questions as I think it requires a certain amount of investment from the couple and gets everything all out on the table. I have been asked pretty much anything, though my favourite is what I plan to wear to the wedding. I always strive to be professionally dressed, with an ability to blend into the crowd yet still move or um, roll on the ground as necessary for some shots. I think the question stems from real life though, as I have heard many a story of photographers showing up in ripped jeans and dirty t-shirts…. yikes. Anyways, Megan and Ryan’s day was perfect from start to finish. I loved ending the night with sparklers and some fun night shots- Megan’s bridesmaid will probably never forget me encouraging her to go “faster…. fasterrrrr!!!!” with the sparkler in order to achieve the look I was going for and so she wouldn’t appear in the shot. Good times indeed.
