This past Thursday, I called to confirm a portrait session with the Blumbergs, that was scheduled for this past weekend. When speaking to Laura she asked if we were available to photograph her nephew’s wedding because their photographer and niece, Jessica Lifland, could not make it because her flight was cancelled due to all of the snow! Not only was her flight cancelled, but so were much of the family’s flights. The snow was beautiful, but for Claudia and Ben, it changed their entire wedding plans, including venues for the ceremony and reception. Ben’s parents had arranged for the visiting families to tour The Wiregrass Museum of Art and to have a tour of the Murals around town, but because there was not enough people for the tour of murals, they cancelled it. There was divine intervention, God definitely orchestrated all the details. Ben and Claudia decided to get married in Dothan, because after one visit, they fell in love with it and everyone here. On Friday, they were able to book the Temple for their ceremony, reserve the Dothan Country Club for the reception, invite more friends to the wedding, Dr. John (Ben’s father) was able to get necessary medicine he needed (the pharmacist left it on the doorstep for him because he was not going to be able to pick up before close and Dr. John said he hadn’t even paid for it!), got a great photographer and a videographer, and to top it all off, had enough people to take the tour of murals! Mark and I are very involved in the planning process of weddings we photograph, but at this point our focus was to just find out when and where everyone is going to be, and to make sure we had time to create something beautiful for Claudia, Ben and their family to cherish. It was unfortunate that loved ones could not witness such a special time in Ben and Claudia’s life, we hope with the photographs they will be able to see what took place. Mark and I were honored to be able to document the love displayed throughout the day, and honored to work with such an amazing family. Here’s a sample of what we saw that day.....
