I must secretly have a thing for Cari & Ryan because for some reason I tend to shoot WAY more images of them in comparison to everyone else! I browsed through their negatives from their wedding on Saturday in La Porte at the Union Hotel and there are over 2,000 images! HOLY COW! I think Cari told me they had something like 900 negatives from their engagement session as well! LOL Maybe it's just that these two are as cute as two peas in a pod and who COULDN'T shoot that many images of them?!
This wedding was a total catastrophe for me though, I got lost on some dirt road and car sick on the 2 hour drive out there (Up 70 through Marysville, and then 45 miles on a little two lane road), and then after the ceremony when pictures were supposed to start I started feeling SUPER lightheaded and had to sit down in the dirt. They probably thought I was just being lazy until I started loosing all the color in my face and swaying. Oh, yes, I was sick, baby. One of Cari's sisters is an ER doctor and her husband kept the water and lemonade coming- and the consensus was that it was a combination of low-blood sugar/altitude/dehydration but it was at least two hours before I could stand again for a minute or two without feeling like I was going to pass out or be overwhelemed with nasuea. Pictures took alot longer and were spread out over quite a span of time, but we got them done, and Cari's good friend who is also a photographer took charge and kept things moving so we didn't miss out on a thing!
After awhile I felt better- just fatigued- but on the way home I started getting dizzy again and the two hour drive ended up taking over 3 hours as I had to keep pulling over to the side of the road to rest. Regardless of every story I've ever told, this one tops as the most embarrassing ever! I'm so sorry Cari & Ryan and I'm so glad everything turned out ok!
Enjoy!
