Wedding in the Polasek Gardens

Heather, a good photographer and friend, called me up and said that she needed some help this past weekend. She needed someone to second shoot and assist, because the person who regularly assists her was not available. If I'm available I always try to help friends out and am I glad I did. She had booked a wedding at the Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Gardens, and if you haven't been there, you have to go!









Here is Heather breaking out the old school medium format! Can't wait to see the images from this!



I don't think she told me it was at 7am until after I had said yes, and then I had to double check with her to make sure she didn't mean 7pm. Sleep is nice, but so is morning light, and it's not like I have to get up every day at this time.

The wedding didn't really start until 9a, but we wanted to get there early to grab some details of the garden and the setup. I was there by myself for a good while. It was so peaceful I probably could of sat down and just mediated. The water was like glass and when I rounded a corner looking for detail images this white egret (I think?) took off flying! I reacted and made a shot as it was reflected in the glass like water.



This veil was awesome!


Someone didn't want their photo taken
