I remember when I made the decision last year to expand RMP to include weddings I could not help but visualize ‘the future’ and the types of locations and destinations where bridal work could take me. The thought of leaving the bay area, much less the state for wedding photography was much more of a long term plan and certainly something I wasn’t expecting to tackle within the first 5 months of taking this part of my business live. But as is always the case, there was a bigger plan in store and one year ago today I found myself on the island of Oahu in Hawaii photographing the very private and romantic wedding of A and R.
I could go on for paragraphs about the insane weather we encountered, the flash flood warnings, the power outages…it all led to the flavor of a unique and unforgettable week on the island. We went from Plan A, to a contingency Plan B and then had to ultimately wing it with Plan C. And the beauty of all of it is that it was PERFECT…it was perfectly imperfect and so custom made for these two and it couldn’t have been any better any other way.
It’s been one amazing year since that incredible day and today they are celebrating their first anniversary as husband and wife. I’m only slightly bummed we are not back in Oahu to commemorate as we had planned but seeing as how a sweet baby boy is now on his way into their lives in just a few short months I guess I can get over it. Seems like a fair trade…
Happy Anniversary to you A & R. What an amazing 365 days it’s been and the best is still yet to come. Enjoy this little walk down memory lane. I love you both!
