I had a great Saturday photographing the wedding of Brian and Jen at Yosemite with Los Angeles based photographer Terrence Bishop. Just as I got there, a sudden out-of-the blue rain cloud appeared and dropped about 5 minutes of water at The Narrow Gauge Inn where the wedding party was preparing for the day and then it very politely went away. Afterwards, the air was clear and cool, the dust was patted down and the trees and ferns were shiny green. Rain on a person’s wedding day is also said to be good luck and based on how the rest of the day went, I’d say this was true! No bears showed up, everything went wonderfully, and Brian and Jen were a happy and beautiful couple. Rev. Autrey Nassar officiated the nuptials. Helping out was Rev. Nassar’s wife Donna. It was great chatting with them about how a couple couldn’t ask for a more beautiful and holy wedding chapel, Yosemite ! The folks at the Narrow Gauge Inn also were so kind and friendly, the food was great and the party on the patio afterwards was a blast! I kept trying to leave but the DJ, Kirk Moulin was playing such awesome music, I had to stay for the “end of the song” several times! A wonderful day turned in to night and the beginning of a happy life together for Brian and Jen. Congratulations to you both.
