Nena and Jeremy

On occasion, I am actually invited to a wedding as a guest.

I met Nena when she was Maid of Honour at Nancy and Jonathan's wedding, and we hit it off well enough that she extended an invitation to her own nuptials taking place two months later.Their ceremony was short and sweet, and took place on the shores of the Bras D'Or Lakes on Cape Breton Island with a backdrop of gorgeous blues and greens and a perfect clear sky.

In typical Cape Breton style, this guy provided the ambiance because, really, a fiddler is an absolute requirement if one is getting married on the shores of the Bras D'Or Lakes.


While it was fun to relax and not have to worry about getting the perfect shot, there is one moment that no photographer should miss:


The official photographer was the lovely and talented Mr. Sean O'Connell. His style is a lot like mine and we talked a bit of shop at the reception: I'd definitely recommend his services... you know, if I was already booked up.


 This well-discarded bouquet gave me a little something of my own to do while Sean was working his magic.


If, for whatever reason, I'm not the photographer, I'm always game to sit among family and friends as a wedding guest. I learn a lot just watching other photographers do their thing and it's a welcome change to just sit and relax and enjoy the day sometimes. I also have this dream of actually standing in a wedding, but until I can actually put my camera down for more than 5 minutes, that might not be in anybody's best interests!
