Let me tell you about my most embarrassing moment of 2014. After the ceremony, Laura & Brett, the bridal party, and family gathered around for photos. Let me preface by stating I’m great at remembering names, horrible at remembering faces. It also doesn’t hurt to mention that Brett and his brother, Chad, look a lot alike! Ok ok, not twins, but you see the resemblance, right?! Let me ALSO mention that it was at Laura & Brett’s last pre-wedding consult a few weeks prior where my purse was stolen including its contents — my wallet, iPod, and GLASSES. So there we were, taking bridal party photos when Laura asks to have an additional photo. I remark, “absolutely!” and glance up to see a tall slender man in grey attire. I snap exhibit A:

But I couldn’t stop there…A bride and groom need more pictures than just that! As I continue directing with more poses, they look at me strangely and comply. “Now look at one another.” Snap. “Ok, now you’re going to move towards one another and go in for a kiss without actually kissing.” I’m laughing at myself in embarrassment just typing this. Laura looks at me and replies, “You know this isn’t Brett, right?” OMG. I took another glance at this slender man in grey, and it suddenly became apparent the man I was asking the bride to almost kiss was NOT her groom!! Suffice to say I apologized more times than I can remember. But the great thing about these two and their entire bridal party is that they are so easy-going. They played it off and were such good sports that we captured a similar photo of Brett with Laura’s sister. Exhibit B:

We’re thankful for such great clients and the ability to laugh at ourselves when we make stupid mistakes. Although, here’s to hoping that NEVER happens again! Their day was beautiful, and we are so glad we got to know Laura & Brett.

There’s that go-in-for-a-kiss-without-actually-kissing pose I was talking about! :) Like to do things a little unorthodox around these parts, so I blogged their engagement session AFTER their wedding, nearly a year later. It can be seen HERE.
