So along with the 6 weddings in one week... I also handed the reigns over for a few wedding s to my new associate Lily Porter!!
I am so excited to be offering this summer associate packages on Mackinac. Lily is going to help me out this summer and help me to offer smaller and more economical wedding options for those couples that are doing smaller weddings on Mackinac who would still like to have my style of photography. Basically Lily (who is AMAZING) will be shooting the wedding but I will still be doing all of the final post production to make sure that it still has a little Andrejka-ness to it. We still have some dates available this year if you or anyone you know is having small weddings on Mackinac this summer!!
So here we are two weddings from Mackinac... the first of the season... and I was the assistant. These were Lily's weddings... I just happened to be on the island and thought I would sit back and play a bit.. Nice job Lily... you rock!!
First we had Christian and Jen ... oh boy .. .what a couple... these two had me at "hello".. well actually they had me with their HYSTERICAL answers to their questionnaire. How could I not make a package work with these two... they said they wanted to make "Mackinac their playground".. well it was definitely unique... after Lily and I shot the wedding and the two of them around a bit they said... go away and come back for the pub crawl.. . "THE WHAT?!?!?!".. yup... they hired us to shoot the pub crawl... Sorry Lily... this second was all mine... how often do I get to follow 20 people around the island.. hitting every bar and dancing... quite a fun experience... Did I mention these two would do anything we told them... jumping off benches riding bikes... I even almost had them jumping in the water... (sooo close) ... These two are the perfect example of super fun love, joy and passion... you two rock... and yes I miss you guys too and am going through withdrawal for sure!!!
Then the very next day.. Lily had another wedding that I again had to go to in order to assist. Shannon and I had been chatting for months and I was so looking forward to meeting her, Jeremi, and the two cutest girls. These 4 brought tears to my eyes like crazy... I don't know what it was ... but during their entire ceremony I was crying like a baby. The whole day was so touching and all about becoming a family. The joy in Jeremi's eyes as Shannon walked down the aisle and the way he couldn't take her eyes off her reminded me what love is all about. I was truly touched by their whole ceremony from the vows to the necklaces they gave the girls... it was amazing! Shannon & Jeremi... thank you so much for letting Lily and I be witness to such love. You two without many words at all exude what "it's" all about!!
Overall it was an amazing week to kick off summer 2010... MAN I love my job!!!
Feeling blessed that I get to do what I love today... (even though today it was sitting in front of my computer for hours... that still aint bad.. it just lets me revisit all these awesome couples again)... geez I sounds cheesy sometimes... but ya know... I warned you I write how I think and how I talk (so I might be a bit cheesy... I'm a wedding photographer.. if I can't be ... who can)!!
May you all discover a little bit of love today!
