When people ask me how I gauge the success of my work, or if I have had a good wedding that day, I always ask myself 'was the client happy?' A happy client is really the only way that I can say for sure that I have done a good job.
Yep, it's true, it's true. Dan and Amanda, two people who have become our friends as a result of meeting and working with them got married at...
It was like 104 degrees outside, but with a nice breeze coming off a pond, and some great shade trees, it was a really cool wedding!
Here's the man of the hour, Dan Goldberg. Wonder how long it took them to stack up all of these bottles?
And Amanda. Have you ever seen a happier bride?
Dan's not a guy to let his emotions come out very much. So I am pretty sure right here, there was just a speck of dust in his eye. Yeah, that's it...a speck of dust. In his eye. Yeah. That's it.
Dan's late father was a Marine, so to honor his memory, Dan had arranged for these two to escort Amanda down the aisle. Like the guards at Buckingham Palace, I think the Marines are supposed to not show any expression and be totally committed to business. Like this.
It wasn't their fault that they had to get around a wise-cracking photographer.
Mr. and Mrs. Goldberg.
No, Dan! No, Dan! Don't do it!!! Too late...
A sign of things to come...
OK, let's check out some of the cool details. Love the cake.
Notice the cake has two wedding rings on top. They are replicas of their real wedding rings.
That everyone thought were beautiful.
Amanda's bouquet was totally awesome. It fit the festive mood to a tee.
These three were horsing around for one of their friends with a camera. About that time the lady on the right sheepishly noticed that ol' Ninja here was nearby. Wonder what she was thinking? 'Well, it's not like this will show up on a blog or anything...'
No, Dan! No, Dan! Don't do it!!! Too late...
Can't believe she'd dance with him after that.
Here, Dan and his lovely Mom from Kansas share a trip down memory lane.
While I can take some credit for the cool photo, Dan gets credit for the idea. Everyone knows I do shoe shots at every wedding, right? Well, this idea almost makes up for the painted toes. Almost.
A flashlight? No, Dan! No, Dan! Don't do it!!! Too late...
Well, all's well that ends well. Thanks Dan and Amanda, for letting me be part of one of the coolest and most creative weddings I have ever shot. We'll no doubt hear more from them in future posts!
