Favorite Studio Images – Wedding Rice Attack
Wedding traditions are great, they add to the atmosphere of the day. Filled with joy and laughter they help make the wedding day run smoothly from event to event. But some can be dangerous, not life threatening or anything. But still dangerous. Like letting all of your guests throw objects at you. Some of these guests may or may not be trying to hurt you but I have been to many functions where loosing an eye could’ve happened. Then it’s a sport right?
This studio favorite image was shot at an awesome Greek wedding last year. Many ceremony locations have outlawed throwing rice as it makes a spectacular mess that someone needs to clean up. But ask anyone who has been to a Greek wedding and they will tell you that a mess or two may happen. I had one thought as I sat on the floor waiting for the bride and groom to appear and for the eventual rice attack and that thought was how much rice could these guests actually have ready. We were close to a Costco and was almost afraid to ask that question out loud.
That answer can be seen through the many images captured as the bride and groom took the few steps outside of the church to their limo. A steady stream of rice was unleashed on the bride and groom as well as the poor photographer sitting on the floor helpless. If you have ever been caught in a rainstorm you know they feeling. But at least the rain does let up once and awhile. My favorite part of the shot is the look of happiness and a pinch of fear on the grooms face.
