It Was The Best Of Times, It Was THe Worst of Times

Wedding
After a hectic season of photographing dance competitions and schools I had decided not to shoot any weddings for Studio Studios this year but did agree to help out if they got stuck for a shooter.
The last 4 years I did a wedding every weekend during the spring, summer, fall as well as working a regular job during the week and I wanted a bit of time to work on some projects of my own, anyway I agree to shoot this wedding in Barrie for Studio Studios.
The wedding reception is at the Barrie Country Club but the wedding will take place on Wassaga Beach. Can you see where this is going?
After photographing the bride and parents at their home I head for the beach, its been cloudy and as you can expect it starts to rain. By the time I get there the wind has picked up and whitecaps are on the water and its not just a rain its a downpour.
When I arrive the guests, bussed there from Barrie, are still on the buses , someone is talking to the bride on a cell phone, everyone expects the wedding to be moved back to the country club .A lot of brides would have been crying by this time but spending her summer on the beach this has been her dream and this is where the wedding is going to be. In spite of the weather it is Great, everyone huddle together under their umbrellas and crowd around the bride and groom on the beach. The women are holding their shoes in their hands, a lot of people are barefooted
. Every one is smiling,This is the wedding everyone will remember and talk about for years to come.

The pictures are great unfortunately I cant post any as they are the property of Studio Studio

Finally Back

Well so much for the, I will blog once a week, so its near the end of the year and I have not been here since August. I am a 2 finger hunt and peck typist so doing this takes a lot of time and I really hate typing but I bought a wacom tablet (a wacom tablet uses a pen instead of the mouse and makes it much easier to draw on the photographs) This enables me to do better retouching on photographs but part of Vista, I use a PC, is a program that converts handwriting to typing so this is going much better,

Lots of things happened over the year that was fun and I hope interesting .
