Amanda & Nelson: A Danversport Yacht Club Wedding

Amanda & Nelson's wedding was one I will never forget. Not only because they are one of the nicest couples I have met, but because it was a wedding I almost missed.

As a photographer, this is one of the questions that I often get asked during the initial wedding consultation: "What happens if you are sick and you can't make it to the wedding?" To this, I always reply that I am part of a group of AMAZING photographers called the Boston Wedding Photographers Guild.  As a group, we have an ICE list of photographers who are ready and willing to take your place in an emergency and shoot the wedding in your place. Of course, I already have an amazing  second shooter Chris who I would trust to take over for me in a second, but as extra reassurance to the bride, I would provide another professional photographer from a studio comparable to mine to work with him. This was a case where I needed to use that list.

A week before the wedding I had been given orders by my doctor that I was not to shoot the wedding. When I told Amanda she was disappointed but extremely understanding. Fortunately, a few days later I was given clearance to shoot a little but I still needed to take it easy. By this point Krista, from Krista Photography had come to my rescue and offered to help. I was able to make it to the church and reception and Krista & Chris covered the rest. I can't thank them enough for all of their help and it's times like these where I am so grateful to have amazing clients like Amanda & Nelson and amazing friends like Krista & Chris. Thank you everyone for all of your help and support!!!
