Lois and Kevin were married Friday night at the elegant venue known simply as “The Brownstone.” Lois had a detailed plan on how the day would unfold. Wanting things to be perfect, she even hired a wedding planner. The only thing she or the wedding planner could not control was the weather. Since the bride and groom did not want to see each other before the wedding, I had planned to coordinate photographing the groom and his party in one outside court yard and the Bride and her party in another courtyard at The Brownstone. Well, around 5 pm the sky opened up with rain from a severe thunder storm. Therefore, we went with plan B. Actually, to be honest, there was no plan B. I had to improvise. I commandeered the Brownstone lobby and elevator area and proceeded to attempt the eviction of the crowds who were lingering there. Fortunately for all, I played the “please help out the Bride on her special day” card. When it comes to crowds you want to move, that line always parts the waters of the Red Sea.
People continued to pour into the Brownstone and some wanted to use the elevator. This was understandable, since some guests were elderly. So -- and I'm not making this up -- I was photographing with one hand and pushing the elevator button with the other and then pausing my shots when the door opened to let people in.
Everyone laughed at the reality of those unique moments. Lois and Kevin had a beautiful wedding day and I think the crowd enjoyed their unplanned extra entertainment in the lobby.
