Just before the party started by Michael Steighner Via Flickr: "The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate." - Oprah Winfrey If the day goes as planned, there is a little window of time...quiet time.....just before the guests arrive. After the band has sound checked, the wait staff has finished laying the flatware, the lighting is focused (thanks to my HyLite Team), and the florist has left the building, the creation for the night is ready to be photographed. Its like a playground for the camera photographer! My only regret is that I didn't capture a few "before" or "without the event lighting" shots. (I really need to remember to so that!) Still amazes me what is created in such a short amount of time for one night!
