Take a look at this picture. Here I am on my wedding day! I’ve just gotten in the car and my father-in-law is driving me and my bride to our wedding reception.
There is a great story to this picture and whenever my wife and I see it, we laugh about it – it’s one of the funny wedding memories we had on our wedding day, so let me share with you the story.
After our wedding pictures were completed, we walked out of the church and got to my father-in-law’s car, he wanted to drive us to our reception. My wife got into the left side of the car and with her door open, the photographer positioned himself to get that classic shot of the bride and groom in the car. I walked around to the right side of the car and as I was getting in the car, my wife asked me to hurry up, so trying to get into the car quickly, I slammed the left side of my head into the car door frame and at the exact same time, managed to close the door onto the right side of my head, thus sandwiching my head between the door and the car. I sank into the seat of the car, smiled for the photographer with the best, I’m not in pain look I could muster, and then crashed in pain as we drove away.
To this day, my wife and I smile everytime we see this picture because we think back to that painful event (the door slamming, not the wedding)!
There are many little special moments that occur at weddings and that’s what I try to capture in my pictures. I may not know every backstory, but you will and it’s a great pleasure for me knowing that you will get many years of enjoyment from your wedding pictures and many stories you can share with your children and grandchildren.
Now here’s a great video clip of a wedding photographer helping his clients create and capture that moment they will remember forever.
So, what will your special moment be?
That’s it for today – Have a great weekend.
