Migrating to a new computer means I’m uncovering loads of unprocessed and unshared photographs from past events — including my own Blessing in the US in 2007! Uncovering all of these images from such a bright and happy day was perhaps exactly what I needed right now, though it has been a hard reminder of the last time I really saw Papa John and Gram properly before they each passed away.
My UK wedding and US blessing both went by with minimal planning and maximum fun, despite the overwhelming amount of stress. In both occasions, I opted out of hiring a photographer despite finding and knowing some excellent candidates. Now, two years later, I can say with confidence that the time I spent holding the camera myself was worth way more than being the one in front of it.
