Rain and Wind

It is wedding season and boy did I get a big surprise at my last wedding. The wedding was located in Indiana, and a former client of mine flew me out for the summer wedding. The day went smoothly and the ceremony was held in a beautiful garden. After the ceremony and all the planned shots were taken we moved to an outdoor pavilion @ Shady Pines Golf Course. It was a hot day and temperatures had reached to 96 degrees. Just as everyone was enjoying their first cold beer, the power went out and the sky turned a dark gray. Within minutes the rain started and was followed by extreme winds. Before I knew it I was caring a 1 yr old boy in my left arm and my camera in my right arm. We were rushed to an underground safe room and waited for the outcome. The rain kept coming and coming and before we knew it we were standing in a foot of water in the shelter. It only lasted for about an hour and we were able to go above ground. There was a lot of damage and a lot of broken glass. The beautiful thing about this happening was that the family, bridal party, and staff all worked together cleaning up the mess. I was as present as always and captured it all. The bride was upset at first but she had also noticed everyone working together so they could continue on with the reception. It was truly an amazing event and to witness everyone come together was priceless!
