Secrets and more secrets. I thought I was going to explode!
Myranda and David both had surprises planned for each other and I was lucky enough to be a part of both of them. The week before the wedding I was sneaking around for Myranda to get her gift all ready for him. I met with David in secret a few weeks earlier to help put together his surprise. His timing was a bit off and she started to get a bit suspicious so I got a quick email that night:
“You and I saw each other at Wal Mart tonight. We talked about the wedding and stuff.”
The next day I saw her and sure enough she brought it up.
“Oh yeah,” I nervously said. “We ran into each other at Wal Mart and just talked about the wedding and stuff.” I was terrified that she would ask what he was buying.
It all turned out though of course and no one was the wiser. Myranda’s gift went off without a hitch and David surprised her with a beautiful song at the end of the ceremony. His whole family got into the act and welcomed her into their family in a wonderful way.
The whole day was full of stories like this and each one showed what great people they really are. The one I’ll probably remember the most is how they handled the rain. When I say rain, I mean sheets of it. We drove to a little farm just outside of the city as it was sprinkling and by the time we were there it was an all out downpour. They braved the weather though, determined to get some great shots at the beautiful location. With the help of his best man I stayed under the shelter of my own umbrella and managed to squeeze in a few photos before the rain started to tear the umbrellas apart! They took the bad weather in stride and made the most of it; I think these are probably some of my favorite wedding photos that I’ve ever taken.
David and Myranda, thank you for letting me play a little part in your big day, it was truly an honor to get to know you and see your joy as you became one!
