Keen followers of my blog will remember Chona and Rich, a couple I met at J-Fo’s party many moons ago who were looking for a wedding photographer. Well, those many moons came and went, and yesterday Danny and I finally shot the wedding, and what a wedding it was.
The standard chaos of a wedding day was in full effect, Chona’s make up artist was caught in traffic and couldn’t make it on time, it was looking like she’d have to have her make up done en route in the wedding car which was far from ideal. Thankfully the bridesmaids had a different make up artist who stepped in and saved the day, crisis averted. (Chona – I didn’t catch the details of the make-up artist savior, drop me an email and I’ll put her details in!!).
Chona had a stunning dress made by Kosibah Creations, the dressmaker Yemi was on hand all day to make sure the dress was looking perfect for the photos which certainly made our job a bit easier!
Once the early drama was over with the day unfolded beautifully, speeches were great (particularly liked Rich’s younger brother’s speech which likened Rich’s approach to being an older brother to Wayne Arnold from the Wonder Years). Some early delays cut into some photo taking time (the planned 45 minutes turned into 6!) but in the spirit of rolling with the punches we all pulled together and got some great images.
