I got to work with Vadim again a few weeks ago at this big wedding at the Basilique Notre-Dame. It felt like a celebrity wedding or something since you had (random) people lining up like crazy just to see the bride walk from the car to the church.
And it was even crazier after the ceremony, as I was taking pictures of the bride & groom walking out, I had hundreds of people around me REALLY REALLY trying HARD to photograph them. There were cameras all around my face fighting for position. It was kinda like the MSTRKRFT mosh pit at Osheaga. And keep in mind that these are random people in the street trying to photograph a bride they don’t even know.
So I’ve seen rice being thrown at newlywed couples before, like in Juliane & Ghyslain’s wedding I photographed a few weeks ago. But this was the first time I saw PENNIES being thrown at them. A good luck thing maybe?
We then went to photograph them around Old Port Montreal, where every bride & groom on the planet gets photographed. Fun as usual.
Okay so I’m ending this post with super unrelated stuff. I’m finally getting Internet tomorrow. I’ve been living without it for a few months now and I will finally be connected once again. Yay. I swear, living without Internet these days is like disappearing from the face of Earth. Anyway, since I won’t have to go to cafes or school to get access to the interwebs, I’ll get more blogging done. Next post is going to be the ATP Field Guide #2 so stay tuned!
P.S. This flower girl was super cute.
Donc voilà pour ceux qui ne savent pas j’ai travaillé l’année dernière avec Vadim Daniel, un autre photographe de mariage à Montréal, et il m’a finalement contacté pour travailler avec lui de nouveau. On aura quelques mariages jusqu’au mois d’octobre je crois. Et avec mariages et mes field trips pour mes cours de bio, j’aurai à peine le temps pour l’école.
Heyyy c’est l’école bientôt. J’ai vraiment hâte. Est-ce que c’est triste? J’ai même hâte aux cours d’ornithologie que j’aurai à SEPT HEURES DU MATIN. Je sais toujours pas comment je vais faire pour me réveiller. Même avec 2 alarmes je passe à travers. J’ai toujours voulu pouvoir prendre une année off, et dormir non-stop. Un peu comme une hibernation. Et ensuite pouvoir rester réveillé pendant quelques années sans être fatigué. Ok, il est 2AM maintenant, ça parait que je suis fatigué. Byebye, bonne nuit.
Hey Alex,
Thank you for being one of the assistants at our wedding on July 30, 2011 in Notre- Dame Basilique. You did an amazing group of photos,
hope you had a good time at our wedding. Your website is great, especially the blog you did on our wedding.
Good luck in the future with everything.
Dominika & Greg Kurpiel
