The Bride Is the Star...
As much as I enjoyed shooting the float planes at Sandy Point in Salmon Arm I was excited to leave the event early in order to shoot at my nephews wedding. Things at the wedding did not turn out quite as expected but I liked being there anyway and feel that I took a lot away in the experience.
It turned out that although I thought I was being recognized as an event photographer, shooting second to a pro brought in from afar, nobody else recognized me as any else than just another bystander with a fancy camera (including the pro!)! Combine the lack of recognition with a lack of confidence and what do you get? Just another bystander with a fancy camera!
For all of that I gained more lessons than good photographs but I am ok with it because I wasn't being paid and therefore can not be guilty of letting anybody down, and I am ok with it because I did get a few shots I am happy with as well as receiving those valuable life lessons which I shall carry with me wherever I go.

Together as man and wife.
The groom with his brother and best man.
I didn't lose a nephew - I gained a niece! Best wishes to you Raymond and Amanda and I pray your life together will be as blessed as my own marriage to your Aunt has been.
