Many of you are aware that my husband is also my wonderful, patient and talented wedding assistant! Well, maybe you don’t know that he’s talented and that is the point of this post. (although just watching him go through a wedding assisting me proves his saint like patience…and you’ll have to trust me on the wonderful part! did you see the post about the ring!????) ;) You see, there is this interesting complex when it comes to that whole husband/wedding assistant thing….when Mark is at a wedding with me, people are often very kind and cute and make sweet comments like, “oh, this must be your husband…I recognize him from the blog, I didn’t know he assisted you at weddings!” when I secretly think that they are thinking, “Wow….way to bring your husband for a free meal” ;) and I always say….”actually, he’s an incredible photographer…but the fact that he’s (insert some nice word like…cute, kissable, a good dinner date, makes a good dance partner, etc) makes him an awesome wedding assistant too” and they always smile…and I know they are secretly thinking “YEA RIGHT, nice cover blondie…that’s what they ALL say!” but THEN….I say “actually, he’s a jet pilot by week and a wedding connoisseur by weekend” and instantly, I fade off into the background and become practically invisible because his “cool” factor just shot through the roof and made me look like nothing more than a wedding vendor….and they want to talk to him. It’s fine…I’m completely happy giving him the stage….he deserves it. So, I digress….as usual. Back to the point! His talent. So…while doing a quick search for an image on a client’s wedding….I happened accross a set of his images….and it made me think….MAN…that hot husband of mine is a GOOOOOOD photographer! He needs a BLOG POST because I don’t give him enough credit for how TALENTED he is and what an asset he is at a wedding!!! So, here it is…. (this is just a tiny sampling from one wedding)….
