Another beautiful Sly-Park Lake session, this time to celebrate the engagement of Amber and Aric.
I shot Amber’s brother’s wedding back in 2009 and was excited to get the call from Amber to photograph her marriage to Aric, which will be held in September at the Serrano Country Club.
In addition to watching the happy couple kiss, dance, and piggy-back ride around the lake, I also got to photograph their two dogs, Rocky and Princess Gizmo – neither of which will actually be in the wedding but both of whom took this opportunity to dress up for the occasion in a little doggy dress rehearsal.
You would think that two dogs would have added quite enough excitement to our session but there was more: I happened to be having a rare day of mechanical difficulties with my camera and lens, which kept me on my feet during our time together. When I announced that I thought my camera was broken, I looked up to see Amber and Aric snickering to each other that they had broken my camera. Nothing could be further from the truth, of course, but it was definitely one of those days where I appreciated having my years of experience – and a spare camera – in my bag of tricks.
So, in short, you could say this session was a little “ruff”. (I just couldn’t resist!) Not the final results, however…
