Friday Foto: peek-a-boo

Good morning, I'm back. I bet you missed me huh? Today's foto comes from the last wedding I shot. Like a lot of wedding/event photography, you have to be in the right place at the right time. I was just outside of the chapel while the family was processing into the church. The bride stood anxiously inside the bridal room waiting Pachelbel's Canon in D. I love it. It really sums up the bride's joyous anxiety.

So how have I been? Busy. We hosted our annual two-part Soiree last week. Our Holiday Soiree on the day after Thanksgiving was fun. We had a good turn out. However this year lacked a feeling that previous soiree's exuded. Maybe it was the absence of random cameos by long-lost friends, or maybe the absence and tardiness of other not-so-long-lost friends that led to the overall ho-hum-ness that was coupled with the familiar headache come Saturday morning. Oh well, we have December 22 to look forward to and improve upon our effort to produce that super Soiree sensation. Tacky Christmas sweaters welcome.

This weekend could come at a better time. I'm going to my friend's farmland in Dublin Saturday morning to spend the night under the stars. I'll drink, fish, eat and probably drive through a lot of mud. It will be a much needed recharge session for Kelly and I. The arrival of Christmas season is always an anticipated and dreaded time for us. Christmas holds a special place in our hearts, having gotten married a week before. But the looming receipts acquired always bring tension. It often requires us to take a little break. I go camping, she goes shopping. Go figure. (I love you.)

I hope to get some fun photos this weekend out at the farm and will definitely share them with you upon my return. Hope you all have a great weekend and can spend a little time "recharging" before you begin the world-wind season of Christmas. It's here, don't try to deny it. Kenny and Dolly's White Christmas is in my CD player. Watch out!
