It seems I’d rather work than blog. I photographed Lezlie and Matt’s wedding over a month ago. I should have had this up so that they and their friends could see what I saw when attending and capturing the fun and festivities of their wedding. It was my first visit to The Lake House Inn ( www.thelhi.com ). Set on the shore of Lake Nockamixon, it’s really is a great place for a wedding, or just to get a room and hang out for a few days. The staff was great to work with, and since the weather forecast was for rain to start about the same time as the ceremony, they were prepared to move inside if it did rain. It didn’t. Well, not until the cocktail hour anyway. Then, like most weekends this fall, it rained the rest of the night and next day. Like I’ve always said, we have weather in the east, not climate. Floral Decorator, John Kevin Gallagher ( www.jkgfloral.com ) and his staff did an awesome job of decorating for the outdoor ceremony as well as creating a great mood for the reception. Working such pros makes my job look easy. It’s not, it just looks that way. We all work hard as a team to make the day as perfect as we can for those that we’re working for. One of the best parts for me is that I get to see them again after the wedding and share what I’ve captured that will retell the story of the day forever. As great as the decor, food, music, etc. are, when the lights go out at the party, it’s over. Without someone who can skillfully capture the fun, excitement and romance that in most cases is fleeting, one has to rely on ever fading memory to recall the day. For the most part, most of what a good photographer captures, wasn’t noticed in the first place, so that’s why I enjoy it so much when the families visit to see the Artists Gallery Show that I create from every event. The AG is not the entire set of previews, BTW, it’s my favorites, set in a multimedia format and shown with surround sound on an 8′ screen. (not a bad place to watch a football game or World Series game either!) Culled from the full Artist Gallery is a mini version that I’ve put together for web viewing, so I hope those of you who view Lezlie and Matt’s wedding can get a feeling of how the day went.
