A few years ago I shot a friend's wedding where there were only three witnesses and we had to be mindful of the tidal changes. Sounds interesting doesn't it?
Stephanie and Brian told me about their wedding plans and had me hooked when they told me they were going to say their vows on "disappearing" Key a few miles off the coast of Key West. They were only going to have two friends attend and along with me would be the only witnesses. I couldn't wait.
I took the first flight to Key West so that I would have the entire day to document the day. All weddings are special and hold many sentimental meanings by their very nature. But when you have to take boats out to a sandbar that barely keeps the six people standing on it dry it's a different kind of special.
My job wasn't any easier. In fact in some ways it created more pressure because my images would be the ones to tell the story to everyone that wasn't on that tiny Key. Not to mention I had to make sure my cameras didn't go for a swim.
It was a fabulous 20 hours I spent in Key West. It was filled with a lot of smiles, laughter and love. I consider Stephanie and Brian's wedding the most unique wedding I've ever photographed.
So when a bride tells me they're having a small wedding I always tell them I've probably photographed a smaller one.
