So again it has been too long since my last post. It has been a busy month. Among the notable events:
I was thrilled to photograph Rolf and Iris' wedding at chapel dulcinea. They were here on vacation from Germany and planned to get married in our great State while here. They asked me not only to photograph their wedding but, to arrange the minister, pick the venue for the wedding and the reception! Not sure I'll be going into the wedding coordinator business anytime soon. Amanda would be great at it but, for me, I'll stick to photographing them. The day for Rolf and Iris was great! Sunshine and just a little warmth in the afternoon made the chapel and its hill country appeal shine well. Congratulations und danke Rolf and Iris.
Also, I did Kristina's bridal portrait at the Capitol. Kristina and have known each other for a while and have mutual friends. She brought Heather with her to assist and to heckle me a bit. I am so happy Kristina decided to have her bridal portraits done. They were included in the package so certainly nothing was lost. I don't twist anyone's arm to have the sessions done but, this is most likely the only chance a bride will have to get them done. At first she was reluctant but after my suggestion and some pressure from her friends, she went through with it. And...they came out beautiful! She was very happy with them. We had a lot of fun during the session as well.
Most recently I photographed Tammy and David's wedding in Round Rock. What a neat little church it was. the ceremony took place in the center of the sanctuary with seating arranged 360 degrees around it. The church was evenly lit from every angle. The lighting and my freedom of movement made for some nice shoots. One in particular of the groom turning off his cellphone which rang only moments after the minister reminded the guests to turn theirs off. It was funny!
Lastly, everyone is very worried about how deep in the canyons our economy is going to go. It certainly isn't good. I am not a financial advisor but only offer this...make intelligent, thought out decisions prior to selling off any of your assets. Panic will only breed more problems. Stay focused and wise. Perhaps the biggest comfort in all of this... God is still God and will be through all of this.
Many blessings,
-Ryan
