Monday Morning - And Still Alive

Good Morning Everybody,
WOW! What an incredible weekend - hope everyone had a great weekend too. After my quick post on Friday, I fully expected to get back to the keyboard and finish up the post - It simply was not meant to be. The schedule for the wedding weekend coverage kept changing and 9:22 a.m. was the last I was to see of the blog posts till this morning.

I don't want this post to be an "Entertainment Tonight" sounding post, but let me just cover a few of the highlights.

What and incredible beautiful and gigantically wonderful event we had the honor of photographing. Thursday was the Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner. Friday we were off and running at 9:30 a.m. with a deep sea fishing excursion for the guys and a wonderful Bridal Luncheon for the ladies. Later in the day we photographed over 100 couples Friday as they arrived for the Welcome Party. The Miami Sound Machine - the band for the evening - was terrific - high energy and great sound. Fireworks over the ocean were incredible and help conclude the evening. After a little after-midnight Photoshop session, we delivered the prints by 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning.

Saturday started with a 7 a.m. wake-up call as the morning festivities started at 8 a.m. with a golf outing for and awards ceremony and luncheon. We were back on for wedding activities at 2:30 p.m. and things were non stop till 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning. After the beautiful ocean-side ceremony and cocktail hour, I have to say one of the evening's highlights was the special after party performance of Huey Louis and the News - man, are those guys gooood!!

I had myself and staff, LaDawn, Nicholas and Eric covering all aspects of this wonderful event. Thousands and thousands of images. After we got back to the room, I selected about 18 images from the wedding that we printed and mounted into three small 4x6 souvenir albums for the bride and groom, the bride's mom and dad, and the groom's mom and dad that we delivered to everyone at the Sunday brunch. Tears and hugs--everyone was thrilled!!

Anyway we wrapped the ocean side Brunch 1:30 p.m. Sunday, packed the car, drove 5 hours up to Daytona Beach, and had a wonderful dinner with my daughter, Elizabeth, and her friend Anthony. So that's the quick wrap up of the last 4 days. I'm off this weekend, so I can let this "tired ol' body" recoup till things pick up again in November. So how about some scintillating news tips for the day...
