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.

Here's a shot I took of him and his lady at Cody and Nici's wedding. View attachment 9011 Note: all the above were taken with the Nikon D70, 28-70/2.8 zoom, and SB800.
Very nice Frank, I like the relaxed atmosphere on the first shot. That was nice of you to give them the images as a present. What a guy.
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.
