funny story

Ok so I had this consultation set up with Sabrina for a little over a week. I go down to meet them at her office at around 10:00. Beth and Brad are in the military and are planning Sept. '09 wedding. BUT they were actually getting married before they were deployed! The plan was to do the ceremony yesterday and then come back and have another ceremony with family and friends. So I leave the meeting at around 11 and am driving around Forest Park scoping out spots for Sheri's shoot on the 21st and then the phone rings...Here's how the conversation went..
Sabrina: "Sara, it's Sabrina...Beth and Brad want to book you for their wedding"
Sara: "Yay...I'm excited...they are a great couple"
Sabrina: "Yeah they are...so whatcha doin' today at 4:00?"
Sara: "uhhhhh nothin' (but inside I am secretly FREAKING out because as you know Charter was coming out to re-establish my connections with the outside world)
Sabrina: "well do you want to come shoot the ceremony today at Forest Park"
Sara: "I'd love to...let me make some calls"

ok if there was a world record for the number of calls made consectively in the shortest amount of time...I'd hold the record...I was frantically calling around to see how I was going to get my kids and make sure someone was there to let charter in...ha ha of course my friend Maryann bailed me out again and came over to let charter in. They were supposed to be there between 1-3 but of course didn't roll up till 2:58..no kidding...I was freaking out.
But I made it to Forest Park in plenty of time and I have to say Beth and Brad's ceremony was one of the sweetest I have seen. That's what it's all about ya know...nothing fancy...nothing elaborate...just a few family members and two people who hold a tremendous amount of love and respect for each other. Don't get me wrong...I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the details that brides put into planning their weddings. Those little details really personalize each ceremony and make for great pictures, but I have seen them also cause a lot of stress for people and in the end, what REALLY matters is that two people who are deeply in love are making a lifetime committment to each other...and that's exactly what yesterday was all about. I felt really honored to be a part of it! Best Wishes Beth and Brad and I can't wait to do it all over again next September!!





This was by far the most "intimate" ceremony I have ever seen. I loved how close everyone was able to get and feel actually involved with the ceremony!






Although Beth's parents weren't able to be there physically, they were able to hear the ceremony and even participate in it with this phone. I thought it was so sweet how this guy held it up to them during the ceremony!



I think these pics do a great job showing just how happy Beth and Brad were right after the ceremony




This is Beth Finally getting to talk to her parents as a "married woman"
