365 - Week 25.....Catching up! (Continued)

The wedding day! There are several from this day and they're just from the ceremony. I attend many weddings, as you very well may know, but this one was slightly different for me because I guess that's just how they do things in Colombia. Nothing majorly different, just some of the logistics that would have thrown me off if I'd actually been shooting the wedding myself.

This chapel had beautiful stained glass! The bride showed up in a vintage car with her mom and the ring bearer. Don't get me started on the ring bearer! He's too cute for words! The groom eagerly awaited the bride halfway down the aisle with his mom and dad by his side and with the bouquet to give the bride. I'd never seen that before.

She made her entrance with my uncle and with the flower girls and ring bearer.

Her twin sister gave a reading. Now, I'm not sure if this is the same for all weddings or just this one, but there wasn't a bridal party standing up there with her other than the kids.

For those of you that shoot weddings, you'll appreciate this. There were no "church ladies," no rules, no restrictions. The camera and video guys plus guests went wherever they wanted to. Kind of distracting but I got great light!

This little flower girl was fun to watch. She didn't hold still much at all. Immediately after the ceremony ends, the bride and groom walk up to the front and turn around for pictures while everyone watches. And they only take a few pictures with the flowergirls/ring bearer, and then with parents, and then godparents, and then they're done and they walk down the aisle and out the doors.
