Wedding Wednesday: The Manteo Edition

Okay. So here’s the deal.  

I announced a couple weeks ago that Wedding Wednesdays would be coming to a close because I was running short on official wedding pictures to post.   But I have some good news on that front.

Nathan and Meagan’s photographer is going to be sending me the wedding pictures in a format that preserves their original resolution which will be great because there were some pictures I wanted to post but wasn’t able to because of the low resolution. (Due to them being transferred from computer to computer.) So when I receive those pictures, I will be able to post a few more from The Actual Big Day.  (And everyone said, “Hooray!”)

Also, I now have a copy of the video of the wedding; however, it’s in a format that I can’t load on my computer. I’m talking to a video guy I know in hopes of getting that whole puzzlement figured out so that I can post a few video snippets.

In the meantime, there’s even more wedding photo news!  

As of last Friday, a whole new crop of Nathan and Meagan wedding pictures came into existence.  And just how did that happen?

Well, Meagan asked me several months ago if I would be willing to take some wedding pictures of her and Nathan when they came to Manteo for Christmas.  Because of time limitations on their wedding day, they hadn’t gotten as many photos of just the two of them as they would have liked.

Well, when she first asked me, my response was to say yes and and to get all excited about it because I love the two of them and of course I love taking pictures. What’s not to be excited about?

But then as I started thinking about it some more, I got worried.

“Oh dear,” said I to myself, “What have I done? Why did I say yes?  I’m not a real photographer like their wonderful wedding photographers, Kristen and Chris.   I’m still not exactly sure what I’m doing and what if Meagan goes to all the trouble of bringing her dress and getting all decked out and I take horrible, awful pictures?”

And then, as I pondered and worried further, I thought that maybe if I just took hundreds and hundreds of shots over the course of our session, just possibly two or three of them might turn out okay and Meagan and Nathan won’t be too terribly disappointed in my feeble photography efforts.

So that was my big plan: the utilization of Scattershot Photography.  Shoot, shoot, and shoot some more and eventually you should hit on something good. (Feel free to tell everyone you know about this amazing photography tool.)

And so last Friday, Nathan, Meagan, Sarah and I took off on a Picture Taking Adventure around Manteo. We got stares, applause, comments, and smiles and I ended up with a rough estimate of one bazillion pictures.  I also gave Sarah my purse camera so that she could join me in the snapping frenzy and with the Scattershot Photography Tip going full steam, we actually managed to get some really lovely shots.

So the good news is that if you all are still up for it,  Wedding Wednesday can continue on for a while longer yet because we’ve got some new beautiful, fun photos to share and some cool stories to go with them. 

 

So.  Having said all that? 

Welcome to Wedding Wednesday: The Manteo Edition

As soon as Nathan and Meagan arrived in Manteo, she unpacked her gown and hung it in Sarah’s room to let the wrinkles fall out. It was actually a little sobering for this mama to see a wedding dress hanging in my 16-year old daughter’s room because all I could think was, “Someday, that will be Sarah’s dress hanging there.”   (sniff)

One of the funniest parts of the whole experience was watching Nathan (in his ubiquitous t-shirt and basketball shorts) help get Meagan into her dress.  Obviously he didn’t have that particular privilege before their real wedding so he lacked a bit of practical experience as a Wedding Dress Donning Assistant.  But he was an awfully good sport . . .

even during those times when he wasn’t sure if he should be hands on . . .

or hands off.

I especially love this shot.

After the dress was finally in place . . .

Nathan morphed from The Dresser of the Bride to the Carrier of the Bridal Gown Train. He’s one multi talented fella, that’s for sure.

Sarah joined her brother in their appointed mission of getting the bride untrippingly from the third floor to the second floor of our home.

It was quite the undertaking.

Once they had safely made it down the stairs, Meagan did some final touch ups to her make up while Nathan exchanged the shorts for a suit.

It was so fun watching the two of them get ready and sharing their joy.

And then it was, “Here Comes the Bride” all over again.

Meagan helped Nathan do some little adjustments on his suit and then . . .

Of course, they would want you to take some more pictures. You do a fantastic job. I wish I were in your circle--I'd hire you as well as the professional because you would get all those "nooks and crannies" type pictures that the pros just don't get. They have to focus on certain big scenes that they are expected to get at weddings.

When you are the behind the scenes sniper, you can go for the things that they will miss since you know that those were covered. I'm just sorry you couldn't take any at the ceremony, (though I 'm glad you couldn't take any at the ceremony, does that make any sense? I mean I'm glad you were the mom). I love your pictures!

Beautiful Pictures!!! Can't wait for the next group of pictures!!!

I was actually waiting to see the picture of Nathan wearing the Wedding Gown. Something like that would be a Nathanism for sure. Love the pictures, glad that the visit is going well, too! Take care, Jodi

Ha.. and you were worried. Told ya you would do great! Those are amazing! I know Megan and Nathan HAVE to be thrilled...this fills in the gaps and has the added bonus of being taken by you. I am so proud of you!!

I saw a black and white version of the pic on the dock and wondered why you hadn't posted it! It's my very favorite-ist! Now I know why! Not saying how I saw it (longish story), but congratulations on an extraordinary pic! Can't wait to see more!

Love the beach pictures!!! And, I love the idea of a promise ring! We only had a piece of paper that we put up in front of church during a service... I love the idea of having something on all the time to remind you of that promise!! Abby will have one in her future! And, although the circumstances in which we met were horrible, I am so glad that God has it in his plan for our paths to cross! You guys are awesome!

becky m said...

I absolutely love the last picture ... the sun (Son) shining between the newlyweds. How symbolic!

Anonymous said...

glad we'll get more WW photos! The walking on the dock picture made me think of a friend's wedding photos. (I didn't know her when she got married.) But, sometime after the wedding (and maybe the reception) the happy couple went WATERSKIING in their wedding attire!!!!

did Snowy get included with the bride and groom in Manteo?

Lovely pictures!!! I just adore wedding photos so keep them coming. You are doing great with your camera. I need to get more practice taking different shots rather than old "standard" ones--if I can find time. You inspire me and I'm trying to do more. With digital I don't have to print!! Just keeping them on the computer takes up so much space. My pup who will be 4 Jan. 16th is my main subject.

Lizz said...

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the last shot!!! The couple, the sun, the bridge, the flags! Perfection!!!
