call me the funky wedding fotog

funny, but it seems that whenever there is someone having a quirky wedding, i get to shoot it - not that i'm complaining, it's just funny how things work out - this past friday, a young couple got married in their old high school theater - that's where they met when they were 15 and 16, fell in love, and so that's where they decided to tie the knot - not totally wacky, but still, a wedding with a twist...i find that i really don't mind shooting weddings, maybe doing it for the paper instead of getting paid by the family and being solely responsible for their lifetime memories lets me take some of the pressure/stress off of myself - maybe i should consider this practice for a possible future, whether i want it or not! 

before the ceremony began, the wedding party gathered in a back room and did what they used to do before performances - "lion face! lemon face!" they shouted as they stretched their facial muscles and voices to the max - it was pretty funny - they weren't at all nervous, just having fun, which seems like the best blessing you could have on your wedding day

"it's a boy! i've got a son" the groom's new mother-in-law jokingly shouts as she congratulates him after the ceremony

and then, the bubbles
