Wedding in AZ - Santee Wedding {part II}


































































Just finished up the edit for Sean and Rachel Santee's wedding. It was one of the most beautiful setting for a wedding. I had a first in my editing, there are photos that are straight off the sensor. I didn't have to do any editing to the photos, not just a slightest tweak. The wedding was a super simple yet very elegant wedding. The setting lent to the simplicity and it also created the beauty. Her dress was brand new but had a very vintage look and feel. Her flowers had orchids in them, that was the first time for me to see that. All that to say, it was very beautiful. I am so glad they let me come out and capture their wedding. I not only got some amazing photos but I was able to spend time with good friends.

I did have the scare of a lifetime during the wedding. I had just finished shooting the girls photos and was getting ready to start with the guys and I had about four images left on my memory card. So I went for my pocket and my card case was not there. Then, I went to my camera bag and the cards were not there. Next, I traced my steps to see if I had set them down somewhere. This whole time I am not to worried because they should be in one of those places but they were nowhere to be found. Now I started to get worried. I have four photos left, no memory cards, no memory card reader (it's kept with my cards) and I don't have the cord to connect to my camera (I use the card reader). Then I stopped and thought about where they could be and remembered, they are on the golf cart I was driving around earlier. So I went to where I dropped off the cart and the cart was not there. I talk with the guy working and he said the cart was on the course somewhere and he was the only person in the shop and could not leave. I then sent my friend to the CVS (we were out in the country, it was the closest and only place to go) to buy memory cards, and at the same time the wedding coordinator had sent someone out looking for the cards. In the mean time, I was using the card from on the the bridesmaids camera. To wrap this up, they found my cards and we later returned the memory cards form CVS. Oh, this all happened 30 minutes before the ceremony started.
