The only thing that makes weddings better is when you add guns into the mix! The Lemieux wedding was super rad. It was guns-a-hoy! As a sportsman myself, I was on cloud 9mm! :cool: So let the fun begin!
Susan and I split up for the pre-wedding photos. I went out to the farm where the men were getting ready. And to my surprise, skeet shooting redneck style was on the agenda! Matt hammered that clay and I was happy to get the “turn it to dust” photo. It was without a doubt one of the most fun groomsman getting ready sessions of all time! And, we found out later that Bryanna actually bought Matt a rifle as a present. Gotta love that! The whole wedding party was super fun and up for anything. I did my signature eyelash photo not only with Bryanna, but took it to a whole new level with Matt. hehehehe…… He was a good sport.
BTS – the light!
We got lots of great shots during the wedding but for the ultimate shot came towards the end of the shoot when we were wrapping things up before going to dinner. We wanted to get a fairly epic shot worthy of the day. We noticed that the gravel roads around Alida were eagerly blasting dust everywhere. So we figured that a dust photo that was all lit up with a cool setting sun might do the job. Our first plan was to get the wedding party to drive two trucks up the road behind the couple to really get the dust flying. It didn’t work so hot as we were scared the bride and groom might be pummelled with rock. So we had to go to plan B.
Plan B
Plan B was to get the wedding party to shuffle around the road and stir up the dust enough to get the particulate matter in the air. It was like herding cats by this point but all in all, the wedding party rocked the set and really came through! It was hilarious!!! :D
The Final Image
And here’s the final image. It was a load of fun!
The last image I want to talk about was this one from the dance. It was super awesome to have bubbles courtesy of the DJ. We had some sweet ambient light from the DJ’s spot lights as well. Then we lit it up with our patent-pending flash on stick technique. LOL. :cool: I just loved their expressions and the light and of course, the bubbles! So all the best to Matt & Bryanna! It was a pleasure capturing your memories!
