Essential Stuff

Kendra and Rhett were married at Lake Chelan, and it ended up that, for me, getting to Lake Chelan proved to be the most difficult part of the day.  Google maps sent me on a little dirt road through fields, across gullies, over mountain passes, past “Closed To Thru Traffic” signs, and down deep ravines.  Then, when I got right across from Chelan, with only the lake in the way, I discovered that the bridge was closed.  Fortunately, I always plan for little emergencies, and, with the help of some of Rhett’s cousins, I made it to the wedding in plenty of time.

The rest of the day was easy.  My job was capture Kendra and Rhett enjoying themselves and looking good, and on this day, that was a very easy task indeed.

There are some people who don’t understand why I love weddings so much.  Check out the gallery of photographs from the wedding, and maybe you’ll see.  There is drama, and joy, and first glimpses with tears, and anticipation, and community, with sisters and aunts and moms all tying the flowers before the ceremony, and tender caresses, and cupcake-tossing uncles, scenic backdrops, and wind that can knock small-boned photographers over, and heart-felt speeches, and beautiful brides and handsome grooms, and dances under a gorgeous sky.  And sometimes, it all happens in a single day.  And it’s absolutely magical.
