A few from today...

I had lunch with Cody and Nici today... the young couple whose wedding I photographed a few weeks
ago. They're moving back home to Phoenix this weekend, and as a going away present, I gave
them a small album containing 20 of my favorite shots from their wedding in 5x7 size.



We ate at their favorite Japanese restaurant, and the owner and staff asked to see the album.
The expressed great enthusiasm for the marriage and the pictures, and brought us a complimentary
plate of sushi, arranged in heart patterns as congratulations. Afterwards, the Sushi Chef asked me
for my business card, as he's interested in some photos of his family to send back to Japan. I
grabbed a few snaps to give him an idea of my approach.

I've grown very fond of Cody and Nici since they moved to California last year, and it was hard
to say goodbye... so I hid behind my camera and took a parting shot of them.

But then they told me the good news. Cody's brother is getting married in October, and wants
to fly me out to do his wedding, too  . That will be great fun! Here's a shot I took of him and
his lady at Cody and Nici's wedding.

Note: all the above were taken with the Nikon D70, 28-70/2.8 zoom, and SB800.

 

Thanks, Leigh. If you and Patrick decide you want to renew your vows, just give me a shout  .

 

We're not related by blood, but Nici and Cody are like family to Nancy and me, Gordon. I'm really going to miss having them around.
