So we got back a little while ago from the wedding…well, a little more than a while ago…and now I am performing the daunting task of taking off all the pictures we shot and reviewing them. I am on some sort of a post-wedding high because for some reason, I don’t want to go to sleep. My body is telling me that I’m tired, but I’m just not convincing myself. Megan, on the other hand, has already sacked out (since sleeping is what she does best). But I am determined to stay up and at least get the pics on the computer.
The wedding tonight was so much fun! I tell you, weddings never get old. I’ve been to so many of these things and it never gets redundant listening to the same songs, watching people do the same dances and rituals. It’s amazing to be able to share the day with people and their familes…to watch everyone celebrate the joyous occasion. It’s strange how you can go into a situation not even knowing anyone and by the end of the night feel like you know everyone. Good times, indeed.
We started shooting at the bride’s house around four this afternoon. Let me tell you, I’ve done a few weddings and know what goes on with the girls getting ready…but this time I got to experience it first hand and while tonight wasn’t terrible, there was still a share of drama. :) After pics at the bride’s place, we carpooled over to this gorgeous church in downtown Sac. It was a Catholic wedding and the church was beautiful. We did a few pictures with the bride and bridesmaids and I *tried* to get some with the guys…but the lighting just wasn’t cutting it. (You know, with the whole keeping the bride and groom apart from each other) After the photos and a beautiful mass, we went over to another small reception hall. The group was small and the room intimate, candles and red roses adorned the tables. The food was a Mexican buffet and the people were nice and friendly. The DJ was animated and entertaining. Everyone had a good time. Megan caught the bouquet. I danced with Heidi. It was a good time.
And now, here I am with the pics. Oh, I forgot to tell about our morning adventure…
So I kept Megan awake until like midnight exactly, because she always goes to sleep early. A strange one, she is. Anyway, so I kept her talking until midnight and we both crashed. We woke up and she cooked Snickers waffles. I’m sure you all know how much I love waffles. :) After breakfast, we got ready and ended up going on the most random drive ever…but ended up in Jackson and Sutter Creek. I have to say that Sacramento and the surrounding towns and cities are so gorgeous this time of year. Everyone in San Diego complains about the weather sometimes and how it’s always perfect. It’s true that we don’t have seasons…and even though the weather is always sunny and gorgeous down south, it’s nice to have the remnants of seasons once in a while. But up here, the air is nice and cool and the trees are absolutely gorgeous with red and gold leaves falling to the ground. Anyway, that’s just a note of observation I made. :) Moving on, we ended up at a cemetery where miners were buried and we walked around and snapped photos of the church and areas around. However, we both came to the conclusion that although the idea of a photo expedition is fun, it just doesn’t beat people photography. It’s so much more interesting to be taking pictures of people than inanimate objects. We were wishing for a model, but it just wasn’t so. But I think we both got some interesting pics of our adventure.
Oh, and then we had lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Rancho Cordova. Waffles and spaghetti in one day. I don’t know if I can truly convey the excitement.
Well, I think I’m going to wrap this up and hurry up with the pictures so I can be a good roommate and turn out the light. Meg is already asleep, being the loser that she is (just kidding) so I am going to be thoughtful. Anyway, good night.
