July 21, 2012
It was another rainy day. I spent most of the previous night
in the ER (long story). The day began when we met with Caitlin at the salon at
8:30 in the morning, then on to Caitlin’s house to shoot her getting ready. From
there we moved on to The Naval Academy. We almost didn’t make it on time due to
heavy traffic. Then we met resistance at the entrance because my name wasn’t on
the guest list. I convinced the guard that I had confirmed earlier in the week,
and he finally let me in, 5 minutes before the ceremony.
After the ceremony we shot the family in the gazebo and went
to Mahan Hall for more indoor photos. The stairway was in the process of being
painted, so that was something we had to work around. We then headed back into
traffic and over the Bay Bridge to The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. The beach
club is the perfect place to get outside shots but the rain was relentless.
Finally just before dark, we were able to get a few photos out on the beach when
the rain stopped momentarily.
What a long day and very long weekend this was for me.
Traffic nightmares, ER most of Friday night and rain, rain, and more rain. Rain
or Shine we do our best to capture those special moments. All in all, both
weddings were a success.
Good luck to this sweet couple, Dan and Caitlin.
