Wedding with Skyler and Samantha Law!

You know, it's unfortunate that I don't eat sugar, because this reception was loaded with delicious eats.  They had a candy bar, for goodness sake.  At one point, I was filming this guy who was eating an Otter Pop and I just wanted to snatch it out of his hand and gobble it like some sort of deprived monster.  But I refrained. 

Anyway, the day was beautiful, the couple was beautiful, and I frankly, after a 16 hour day, was decidedly not beautiful.  But I think we got some lovely images, and while this was somewhat of a difficult edit, it came together nicely in the end.  To be a good editor, I feel like you have to love puzzles and problem solving. 

Skyler made me laugh at one point.  We're shooting outside and he goes, "Is this good light?"  And I said, "Yeah, it's pretty decent."  And he says, "I've learned so much about photography and lighting today."  Everybody starts laughing.  You forget sometimes as a filmmaker that what you do for a living is kind of strange in a way.  I often find myself on jobs explaining to people why the sun needs to be over there and not here for a particular shot, why we have to wait another 17 minutes for a particular cloud, or how I know exactly how much daylight is left just by putting my fingers up to the horizon.  It's all normal to me, but sometimes I'm reminded how very odd it must seem to the people I work for. 

But Skyler and Samantha were great sports; they really were.  I truly couldn't have asked for a nicer couple, as they were superb to work with and very gracious to let me follow them around all day long, in pretty much any scenario.
