Mary & Josh @ Chincoteague Virginia
Mary and Josh are good friends of ours who's wedding I was planning on shooting in September this year. As many of you already know - I had open heart surgery August 28th, which for the most part put me out of commission for my September and October weddings. So I was rather upset when one of the weddings I would not be able to shoot was the wedding of my wife's best friend since elementary school!
Be that as it may, having gone thru open heart surgery once prior in my life, I knew what was involved with recovery, and I did not think that I would even be able to attend Mary's wedding just three weeks after surgery. I figured I would take things easy and see how it goes, and if I was feeling up to it I hoped to attend the wedding as a guest - but certainly wouldn’t be shooting anything!
Well, recovery went better than expected and I was tired of sitting around resting and needed to try to push my boundaries! I was able to attend the wedding -- but I'm not one to attend a wedding and not be taking photos! So with the help of my wife holding gear and making sure I didn’t over-extend myself - I was able to capture these photos for Mary & Josh at their windy beach wedding in Chincoteague!
Of course, I would have loved to have done much more for these two - but I think I had reached the bounds of what my body could handle at that point in my recovery, and needless to say - I slept very well that evening! :)
Mary always wanted a beach wedding and invited just a small group of friends and family down to Chincoteague to be a part of their ceremony. The weather did not cooperate well as there was a heavy, steady wind on the beach all day long --- but at least it didn’t rain! :)
Chincoteague is such a quaint little town and I am personally a big fan of beach weddings, as I think they lean themselves to gorgeous photos! -- While I wish I could have been feeling 100% and not have been limited by certain positions I could not physically get into yet and all because of my recovery -- I'm pretty happy that I was able to shoot anything at all at this wedding!! :)
And another point about this beautiful wedding -- All the guests stayed at the Comfort Inn in Chincoteague...... which has BY FAR - the very BEST, most COMFORTABLE beds in the entire world!! --- It is a perfect combination of a wonderful mattress and luxurious mattress pad! And while they know what mattresses they use.... they do not sell, or know the mattress pads that they use -- I would have bought 10 of them on the spot!
