So, I traveled to Mackinac Island to take some pictures of an adorable couple named Freddie & Veronika. The travel was of a nightmare with a long drive in the pouring rain, running behind, only to get there right on time for the ferry. Only...I was at the wrong ferry. After being told I was at the wrong location, I jumped in my car as fast as I could to find the "right" ferry location. I found it. Too late. Have to wait. I purchase ferry tickets and call my wonderful couple that are anticipating the shoot. They completely understood my delay. I sat for almost an hour in the waiting room. Watching out the window, I saw huge crashing waves and rain down pouring. Am I really awaiting an hour long session in this hurricane?...lol...I know- a little dramatic, but what about the camera? What about my nice lens? Can I really shoot these people while the world is raining down on us? I wait....I board....I ride....I arrive. Freddie greets me with a huge smile and a bright red rain coat. How sweet he is to let his wife wait for us keeping dry. I like him already. We walk a couple blocks making small talk and quickly I fall in love with the picture opportunity. He brings me to his lovely wife. She is lovely and very pregnant and has the most wonderful accent. The rain..continues...We start shooting and before you know it- we have tons of photos. Though the rain was coming down in sheets, this couple was amazingly ready and willing to capture their special day. These are pregnancy photos, but also anniversary pics....how wonderful. So I try my hardest. I think we got some great shots. They were so cute. Here are a few of my favorites.
By the end of our session, I realized that I can work around the rain. Working with a couple as lovely as them, my job is wonderful- rain or snow. :)
Thanks Veronika & Freddie!!!! Congrats on the baby!!!
