Frank & Teka

I'm always amazed at how the Universe works. I find myself with tremendous gratitude when I finish a wedding. The Universe seems to consistently bring me together with exceptional people. When I say exceptional, I don't mean in the way of status or money but in sincerity and generosity with themselves and their time. (BTW, I reserve the right to have run on sentences on my blog.) When I received a call from Frank a few weeks ago, I should of known the Universe was working it's magic! Frank and Teka were truly wonderful people. When I asked them to try out a new technique of painting with light they were happy to give it a go. I dragged them away from their party , explained the process, set them up them up and my camera wouldn't fire. Talk about being a professional! Frank and Teka went back to dancing and once I figured out the problem, they obliged me by trying it again. Thank God it worked the second time around. It's actually one of my favorite images of the day. It's the very last image in the slide show.

I know this is long but I want to mention that my husband Eric came along to photograph with me. I just love it when he comes along. For one thing, he's a great story teller. I love to pour over his images to try to learn from them. . He lets me be creative without interfering, backs me up by shooting important images along with me and steps in when he sees that I could do something better. I guess you could say that he's my mentor. Everyone should have at least one mentor in their life.

One more thing. Frank and Teka had the best band, Hillbilly Idol. Check them out here.

At last, enjoy the show!
