At last, the actual day was here which excited Jane
as Gina started on Sarah
with many tools
as Suzanne watched
flowers bloomed
Jane snapped
and the process continued
until it was Suzanne's turn
and as Jane started,
Suzanne posed
before work continued on Jane
as I explored the wedding M&M's
while Jane was finished
as Ben and Scott
waited for the next round to start
|
before the photographer arrived
and admired my celebratory sign
as the makeup continued
with a self portrait
before the finishing touches
and the finished product
as we explored outside for a place to hang the wedding dress
as the second photographer arrived
past the dress
and with his partner
enjoyed the decoration
while Scott and Ben
returned with sandwiches
and desserts
as makeup continued
and Maggie
and Lily arrived
while Suzanne and Jane posed
for each photographers
as champagne was chilled
and Jessie arrived
as the champagne bubbled
Sarah's hair got retouched
and Joyce arrived
so that the kitchen was getting crowded
for Amv's arrival
and some trick photography
to get the right profile of Sarah
as photos went on
as did makeup
when Juliana arrived
and Suzanne and I took this mirror shot
as Claire and Lily ate
Suzanne was touched by
and the dress was brought out
and installed
with many finishing touches being applied
some too fast to record
but the process continued
and a lovely bride emerged
for more attention and photos
|
as Scott and Ben did their thing
and the flowers
were held by Mary
as Jane and Scott posed
and so did I
with the flowers
being gathered by Sarah
as her friends assembled
|
so that photos could be taken
|
before attention focused on the mother
and then the parents of the bride
and after a picture with the photographer and organizer
and then one with the organizer
we were off to the venue where another bride was posing.
There then emerged a massive photo session where the photographer was posing the bride and occasionally others in various ways as I recorded some of the scenarios she set up as well as others
|
and then a sign directing guests to the event.
More bridal photos followed
|
before we were drawn to the side to see the groom's party arrive
|
and the couple met
as their friends and family observed
and then they were together
much to the delight of some passing tourists.
Next, we went to the gardens at Prospect House where Suzanne and I had been married for some photos (31 years later)
though there were different photographers then
but the joy and hopes for the future were the same.
Here we met the other wedding party as they processed for their photos
and on our return to the wedding venue we observed as they were setting up lemonade and champagne
and took charm bracelet photos
as E O arrived
and Suzanne greeted the two Marys
and then Mary greeted the happy couple
who explored the old courtyard
as Ed showed the inscription in his jacket
and guests arrived
and some even posed with me
though Scott chose to pose alone
as did Ben
and Suzanne though they had flowers
and then the photographer surveyed the scene
and brought together various incarnations of the Davisson's for photos
|
and then the bridal party posed
|
interrupted by this photo of Suzanne and Amv
as the men posed
|
and then Ed and Sarah posed with Ed's grandmother
|
and then the men posed with Sarah
|
before she was dismissed
so that the men could pose
|
and then Ed posed
as a few guests arrived
even as the women posed with Ed
|
with an interlude for water
before the photos continued without Sarah
|
before it was boys and girls together
|
with an umbrella aiding the photographer.
Next, Sarah and Jane posed
|
as Stueart, Linda and family arrived
and photos continued
with Ed and John posing
as RA RA (without whom nothing could happen) arrived
and then we moved away from this scene
to see the ketubah
which was signed in Holder Hall room 51
|
even as Robert showed off his special ministerial parking permit.
Outside, there were a few photos of the assembling -- Ben and Amv
Janet and Toba
Bonnie, Eric and Andy
Paige
Mary and helper
Ben and Amv (lots of photos of them) and then we broke for the ceremony where others did the photography.
Afterwards, the Davisson side had photo time
as Ben and Peter chatted
before the groups kept growing
|
and Josephine and Sophie
and Sarah and Ed were photographed before we headed home to the reception.
At the reception were Bill
Martha
and Bill and Martha
Len and Judy
as there was excitement
about the first dance
|
and Suzanne and Michael Weinstein posed.
I began my toast with photos of the assembled crowd
and back in my seat, I recorded the view
as groom and mother danced
and Josephine and Dick danced
before I had photo sessions with both Bens.
The cousins made an effort to create and sing a song as I have done at their weddings. I cannot comment on their effectiveness for reasons of conflict of interest.
|
but I did capture Jeff and Janet in darkness
and in light
before they were joined by Wellington and Larry
and then there was the photo of Larry and Janet
Kerry
Andy and Suzanne
and these selfies of a growing group assembled by Amv
|
before I demonstrated my facility with profile selfies
said good night to Amv
and Alex and Jon.
