Working with Gathering Light Photography helping market the amazing business Meghan has, has been a blast so far! I am able to sink my teeth into another industry that I need to know more about and gaining experience at the same time. Last night, I helped set up a photo booth! I am never outside of the reception once it starts, and Meghan, as the photographer, is. She is taking photos of the family, setting up extras, i.e., the photobooth and making sure the lights will be perfect or suitable for certain shots. I;m usually running around making sure everyone has forks or napkins at each setting and ensuring catering is on top of their game and that the bride and groom are blocked from view of the reception until their grand entrance.
Last night, Meghan invited me to the Hindu wedding she was shooting at The Summit, located in Aurora, CO. I loved it! It was sooooo beautiful! I had a grasp on the ceremony, even though they were speaking in another language. It was amazingly unique and so detailed! The blessings of certain foods made me very interested in researching more about their culture and why they bless the certain foods that they do. The hiding of the bride and grooms shoes was very entertaining! The groom had to pay the bridesmaids all of his money before they revealed where they hid the shoes before the bride and groom could leave the ceremony site. The bridesmaids were American and they jumped right in on the traditions and the ceremony. It was truly beautiful. I loved being part of the photography crew, even though I wasn't taking photos, I was associated with them and it was a different take on a wedding for sure. I really enjoyed it and can't thank Meghan enough for giving me the opportunity you have.
