Rules schmules.
We have all been on one side or the other of a wedding.
OMG.
Who the heck came up with all these rules?! Why must they be SO expensive?! There is SO much stress. -Over what?
Who is sitting next to who. Who to invite (and not invite). The venue. The tuxes. The Bride's Maids dresses. YOUR dress. The caterer. The florist. The cake. The invitations. The dj. The photographer. The honeymoon. And the budget...yeah.
You see where I'm going?
You've found "The One", and you've decided to make it official. Now what?
Scenario 1:
You spend every waking moment over the next few months trying out 15 different cakes, trying on 15 different dresses, calling every venue in the area, keeping your mother inlaw to be happy, developing a world class Pinterest page of wedding ideas, and figuring out how long you're going to be paying for this.
*The AVERAGE wedding costs $25-$30 T H O U S A N D DOLLARS.
Dang.
Scenario 2:
You contemplate scenario 1, and realize what is important.
Being the frugal-minded, sensible person you are, you spend the next couple of weeks deciding where you've never been, and how cheap can you get there. And, even though you've succeeded in creating the perfect love storm, you DO want the occasion memorialized. And let's face it, you want to show off your romantic prowess. So, you hire a photographer (ooh! Me me me!), and come home with images that will make your mother cry.
Whether you decide to put together a wedding fit for a princess, or make it a more casual, romantic affair, I want to be there to record it.
Congratulations.

Amanda & Shawn
It was well after the sun had set. There were only a few kids and the cutest couple on the dance floor. (I found out later they have been married for over 60 years.) I saw the bride laughing and giggling like a child would if they were held down and tickled by their father. It looked like she had been spinning around in circles with her head on the end of a bat. I asked her how she was doing and if she needed another drink.
She said she hadn't had a drop.
