Mascot Costume + Dave = a wall hanger
This week it is going to be a short one folks, Why might you ask? Well, its wednesday and I forgot to write out my sweet blog post yesterday thus short but sweet today.
This week we are talking about the phrase, when life hands you lemons make lemonade. As a wedding photographer many times I show up and things just don’t happen the way that I had anticipated and hoped. This weeks pictures are a good example of this, as you read the first line you thought this was going to be about a negative turned around as a positive, but instead it is a positive turned to super positive.
When I was a kid I used to ski at Tyrol Basin, just outside of Madison, WI and they always had this awesome bear mascot, that would walk around and sometimes even ski down the hill.
My friends and Clients Mary and Sam, had a wedding at Tyrol Basin, this was the first time I went out there when there was no snow on the ground. Needless to say the whole wedding was beautiful, it was an easy day to take great pictures. So when I went into the bridal prep area and saw this bear costume I couldn’t resist, thus the first picture below. Now many times when photographers get the “shots” and feel good about the day the wheels stop turning and creative stuff seemingly slows down. Not for this guy. Life handed me two great clients, a bear costume, a camera for one reason, to combine all three into the shots below. Enjoy and feel free to comment using your own lemonade stories.
