Backyard wedding on June 12th, 2010 in Bloomington, Indiana - (Post by David) When it rains it pours. And for the entire week before the wedding we were on pins and needles as to whether or not the Bride would have to run through a rain storm. Thankfully the only time an umbrella was needed was in their PhotoBooth … more on that in the next post.
Despite the heavy downpour, high winds, thunder and lightning that took place not 30 minutes after getting into the tent that had been set up in the backyard of Anna’s parent’s house, nothing was going to dampen Anna’s spirits. Even after a boom of thunder so loud that it shook the tent and caused a yelp from Anna during the speeches, only got a room full of laughter and joyous cheering. And even after the power went out, only lit by the light of our flashes and the lightning outside, the tent was still brightly lit by the love of the couple, their family and friends.
By the end of the night the grass floor of the tent had become something reminiscent of Woodstock — random puddles, muddy bare feet, and lots of dancing. People cared less about their shoes and more about having fun. It was amazing to see nothing get in the way of the love and happiness of the newlywed couple.
Thank you Anna and Sean for having us as your wedding photographers. We had so much fun with you on your wedding day and can’t wait for you to see the rest of your photos and the sneak peek of your PhotoBooth in the next post!

Meet Anna.
Meet Sean.
What’s great is that the next two photos were taken nearly at the same time.
Somebody wants a camera!
The little ring-bearer basically tried to give everyone at the wedding the pillow on the way down. Including me!
Yup. Their Buick is waaaaay cooler than ours.
It was seriously humid. But they didn’t sweat it. (Bad joke, I know!)
Next the wind started to blow like crazy.
And the rain started pouring.
And they couldn’t be happier.
They also did a slideshow on the ceiling. Natural light here — this is how dark it was when the power went out!
My shoes were pretty mild by comparison to most. The only dry place in the entire tent was our PhotoBooth (coming later this week)!
Thanks for reading! – Cathy and David, Photographers.
