Thursday weddings are not common. The only one that I have ever photographed on a Thursday was seven years ago, at Botanica in Wichita. The bride, Jamie, selected that Thursday in June so that she and Adam, her husband, would share their wedding anniversary date with her parents. What a special day...celebrating a new wedding and the anniversary of her parent's wedding...doubly special.
A few days ago I had the fun of photographing Jamie and Adam and their two children, Jamie's parents, two brothers and her sister in law. The photo above is their darling daughter. It was great to see everyone again!
Yesterday I had a woman say to me,"I never forget a face-you photographed our wedding 18 years ago at East Heights in Wichita." She went on to tell others in the room, "Having a photographer who is a woman made such a difference. I was more relaxed, Edye paid more attention to details...things a male photographer just wouldn't see. If you ever need a great photographer-call Edye!"
Although it had been 18 years since her wedding, I was impressed that she remembered the details that I took care of on her once in a lifetime day. Thank you, Shannon, for reminding me of why I love being a wedding photographer!
