The last several weddings I have photographed have been rain drenched. Last week it was a hurricane, the previous week lightning and thunder in the middle of the drenched ceremony. Getting married in August or September is dicey when it comes to weather!
Nevertheless, the gods were smiling on Jackie and Jeff this weekend. The forecast was for 70% chance of rain and the humidity was so thick, you could taste it. Literally 20 minutes before the ceremony, Jackie did not know whether the ceremony would be indoors or outdoors. She finally chose outdoors and we all held our collective breaths. Now if you know photography, you know that the best weather for photographs is cloudy. So not only did the rain stay away, but Jackie ended up with the most beautiful photographic weather possible.
The wedding was at Luciano’s of Lake Pearl in Wrentham, Ma. Kerrie was my second photographer. In addition to a beautiful ceremony, the reception had the best dancing I have seen in my entire career! Many of the guests were ballroom dancing enthusiasts – and the bride’s father owned a studio. There were many highlights of both the ceremony and the reception – but my very favorites all involve dancing!
Take a peek at the wedding to see what I mean:
