the Payne’s – 07 July 2007
7/7/07 – I’ve heard about this day of weddings even before my return to photography. What a great day to shoot my first wedding in a half a dozen years!
I am just getting back into the swing of things. I have a couple of weddings and engagement shoots planned for later this summer, but this one came out of the blue. Christine called my wife on an unrelated subject, and just happened to ask if we had a camera. Their wedding was rushed and they were not able to find a photographer, do you know who could take some pictures? “Barry is a photographer! He could do it.” After giving Christine a link to my photoblog – to which she responded, “He really is a photographer!” – I was booked.
A week later and I was photographing their wedding.
It was a small, intimate wedding held in Christine’s large, back yard. I’m not sure if she had an alternative location, but the weather held out. If any thing, it was too nice. Hot and sticky.
After the ceremony, we did a quick formal shooting in a little clearing in the back. We had planned a trip to Kakabeka Falls, but both Christine and Bruce wanted to change into something cooler.
Here are a few of the shot from the day.

She arrived! – Where is the dress?

The bride, her dress and the bouquet.
