In the Country.
Our good friends down the road had a wedding for their daughter under the trees in their three acre back yard and were kind enough to invite us. We went to the wedding then milked the cow, fed the calves and went back for the dinner and dancing.
As usual I annoyed the wedding photographer a LOT. And brought home piles of left overs for the pigs dinner.
So here are some joyful images.
All the calves are good – even Little. Little drunk two full bottles yesterday. The first time he has drunk enough food in a day.
Today is Tomoyo’s last day working. She leaves tomorrow. Back to school for her. She did such good work. Then we have a break before Hugo, a young man from France, arrives for a few months and then one of The Fellowship is coming for a week. Exciting.
What a grand day.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Love your friend on the farm

how beautiful is the bride, how cute the wee girlie and how lovely the people…so colourful and it looks like fun….they look like real characters and happy neighbours
I am please Little is making small progress ..I did ask my friend above for a bit of help so maybe..that is the reason, as well as your tender loving care…
He is slowly inch by inch getting better.
Oh, fabulous! What beautiful people, old and young, and what a joyful day. And I don’t see why wedding photographers should have it all their own way. We didn’t have one at ours, we just made something beautiful from all the images sent to us by friends and family. I’d love yours if that was my wedding!
Poor fellow – I was always in the right spot seconds before he thought of getting there.. it amuses me no end how full of themselves wedding photographers are. As if a marriage has anything to do with a picture.. c
And equally amazing just how cheesy they can make their images if you let them. It’s as if they have a tick list of ‘appropriate’ poses and groupings. Love your work, Miss C!
There is a tick list. There are very specific shots they must get or their clients complain. They have to be very good at BS to keep the attention of the people in the large groups and inevitably someone in the family doesn’t like something about the shots or feels a family member has been neglected. It can often be a thankless task and a job I would never do. I have turned a lot of people down.
Good grief! Seriously, all those ‘bride feeds groom cake’, ‘bridesmaid inspects bride’s garter’, ‘best man checks pocket for ring’ shots are demanded by the clients? If we’d had a photographer, I’d have wanted black & white, reportage-style, and as casual as possible, and blow the grumpy rellies.
You have to get a non wedding photographer for a reportage “lifestyle” type of photography – that’s why I get asked, but it’s a huge responsibility and it can’t be shot again. It’s not my kind of thing anyway, so i don’t have a problem turning it down.
My daughter does wedding photography…..she’s in Ohio if anyone out there wants a great photographer, does it all, not just weddings…..and takes lifestyle photos, lovely casual candid shots as well as some staged, but not cheesy. She’s in great demand, so maybe more people are leaning towards non-cheesy.
That looks like the definition of a happy occasion. How wonderful to have perfect weather on that special day! I’m happy to hear that Little is engaging at least in feeding!
Fabulous wedding photos! So glad to read about Little. xx
So happy to hear about Little! And what a beautiful day for such a lovely and colorful wedding. Great photos! I’d rather have family or friend-taken photos any day :*)
If I ever get married again ….. I will insist on at least one picture with the cow being milked 🙂 Maybe Little could even be ring bearer. Lovely pics as always and great news about Little today. Laura
Beautiful Wedding shots – the kids are so cute…
I am so glad that everything’s well and ok at the Farmy. All calves still alive. Nothing bad happened. You did such a great work! Is Little out of danger now? Sending my love thoughts to him.
As for Poppy on yesterday’s post: It seems that she has shrunk… Haha. Piglets have grown so much.
Sorry for Tomoyo’s leaving. I wish her good luck! – Have a nice farewell party and a beautiful Summer Sunday.
Here it’s got up to 95F (35°C) – makes tired and out of spirit.
Lovely lively bright wedding, and photos. So kind of the friends & family and you to share so we can delight in their happiness too.
And that little by little Little is finding his way 🙂
Great news about the calves. You’ll be doing the wedding photographer out of a job 😉
Amazing photos of an incredibly beautiful wedding! Nice that you had few minutes of rest. I’m so happy for you that Little is doing a bit better.
What a treat for us today too peep over the fence and enjoy the colourful occasion at the wedding. Great news about Little. I am sure the pigs enjoyed their feast after the wedding.
Thank you for sharing the wedding photos—what a glorious day with so many beautiful people all enjoying the festivities. You definitely would win the photography award on those shots—they are lovely. But yes—I am sure shooting weddings would be incredibly stressful. Happy to hear Little is doing better. Fingers and toes crossed this is the beginning of something great!
Beautiful photos of what looks like a day full of love and laughter. Great news about the calves!
You really captured wonderful photos of the wedding!
The flamboyance of this wedding is wonderful, and you have caught the mood beautifully. Hooray for Little’s progress: keep it up. I hope the good weather continues its healing work.
love,
