Heather's wedding

One of my dear friends from High School days became the first of our group to be the MOB (Mother of Bride) this past August. Susan's daughter Heather married Tyler in a gorgeous outdoor wedding in San Diego. Now, like I said, I've known Sue since high school, and Heather was nowhere in the picture at that time! So I've had the opportunity to photograph Heather and her brother Scott over the years- one shot is shown above- the infamous "hide the jelly bean in the flowers" photo. She wouldn't have anything to do with the daffodils until I told her to find the jelly bean. Then I got the shot we wanted!

The prospect of photographing a wedding for a close friend is both a privilege and a curse- I can't imagine NOT photographing the festivities, but it does cut down on the partying and relaxing that the rest of our group of friends got to enjoy! I have to say it was a lot of fun being behind the camera to document our little Heather all grown up on her wedding day. And yes, I did hide a jelly bean in her bouquet during our bridal portraits. Hey, I do what it takes to get the shot! :-)
