What happens if you can’t make it is a question that I am often asked. I always explain that I belong to a network of photographers that fill in for each other in case of an emergency. On Friday, I was celebrating my daughter’s 13th birthday with lunch at one of her favorite restaurants when I received a call.
“Are you available to shoot a wedding today?” The photographer was ill, and needed a replacement. Sure. My gear is always packed and ready to go, and there were three hours before the wedding started. Plenty of time to go home, change clothes and collect my gear.
While we intended to open presents at home after lunch, my daughter understand that it would have to wait. I am so proud of her - for a lot of things - but today especially, understanding the importance of photography to a bride on her wedding day.
This is the second time that I have been called on by different photographers, and I am glad to help. Because while it hasn’t happened to me, I trust should I have an emergency that any one of a number of talent photographers will be there for me.
Now to stars of the day - Stefanie and Tim. They were married at First Congregational Church and hosted their friends and family for a reception at Glass City Boardwalk. Here are a few pictures from their day.
