When is a job not a job? When you get to photograph a celebration of love. I have had the pleasure of knowing Kathy and Cisco for many years, so when she asked me to be her wedding photographer I was ecstatic, and honestly a bit nervous. As a bit of a perfectionist, those who know me will understand my sarcasm, I hoped I would reach the couples expectations and then go a step beyond. That is always my goal, yet when you know the clients it becomes double the pressure.
Walking into the reception hall before any guests had arrived I let the bright reds and the contrasting blacks soak in. The tables had a playful theme of casino chips, a key chain favor decorated with card suits, on top of a red table cloth. Immediately I felt as though I had been transported to Vegas and was sitting at a favorite gaming table. The center pieces fit the theme beautifully, simple see through vases, with a single red floating flower, that would naturally lend to the guests being able to interact. It was the perfect way to take their guests on a destination wedding without actually going.
Having begun their journey years ago, they planned a destination wedding. On April 14th they sealed the deal in fabulous Las Vegas. Although only a few people were able to join them for this amazing trip, a reception hall full of family and friends helped Kathy and Cisco celebrate their love.
The glow on the couples face as they greeted friends and family was genuinely heartwarming. They both share a love of bowling, and it seemed the room was filled with the extended circle of people who had known each other, and had met through the mutual past time. This was a true party, full of laughter, memories and love.
It is my sincerest hope that Kathy and Cisco enjoy many more years of love. Filling their life together with memories and laughter.
