A Wedding

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

  1. Gorgeous wedding photos – I’m sure the family will enjoy your photos for many years to come! I’m so glad to hear Little seems to be taking a good turn. He’s so lucky to have you.

    • I thought the same… and with her smile and neck lines, she is embarking on a life of beauty far beyond normal ! And, yes, the bride too is really beautiful as well. The whole wedding seems to be, and a treasure to have been invited,
      I am so happy with the news about Little Bobbie, and look forward to seeing photos of him knocking about with his brother Bobbies soon.
      Have a great day! ~ Mame 🙂

  2. Thank you and the family friends for allowing us to glimpse part of this day. What fun it seems to be–their smiles say it all. Baby steps still for Little but happy also that things are looking up.

  3. Lovely Bride photo….. So sweetly happy and in love… Thanks for the peak into her Special Day… Nice to hear a more positive tone in your remarks about Little…. Have a lovely Sunday, Miss C

    • You did? Really? Well, congratulations! And, yes, it was a lovely day for a wedding. Wishing you a happy future with a special person. ~ Mame

      • Miss c, I actually wanted to invite you but I thought you might be too busy with the farm. We are determined to renew our vows all over the world, and indeed had beloved friends whom we had never met at our festivities so perhaps you can be our “official” photographer for the next one in the Out Islands.

  4. What a beautiful wedding with beautiful people! Love the pink, black and white theme…especially on the kiddos’ sneaks. What fun! And the icing on the wedding cake day is to hear that Little is doing well, along with the others. Happy day!

  5. My husband was a wedding photographer. This was before digital. He would take an average of 16 rolls of film, develop them, arrange the negs. in sleeves, label them, arrange the proofs in books to be judged by the bride, groom, and family, often keeping them for a year or more. Then after their final decisions, arrange them in quality albums.
    On the day of the wedding he would be at the brides house by say 11 a.m. Carting 3 cameras, light stands, six-ft. backdrop and umbrella for bouce lighting–oh and lights too. Then to the church. Often having to deal with a prima donna official. Then to the reception. A place to park close to the hall a must for all his equipment–and rarely finding one. Parking always at a premium. He would get home by midnight or one o’clock, exhausted but wired.
    One time he had a broken ankle and had a wedding downtown. On crutches. I went with him for that one.
    He suffered a full cardiac arrest and survived only because he was going into a health club attached to a hospital. A woman saw him lying in the parking lot and alerted the health club personnel. This was 21 years ago.

    • I bet your husband took fantastic photos too, film was so much more special really, I do miss working with it – weirdly the blog has led me away from film as I do everything now for tomorrow. Being a wedding photographer is exhausting and such high stress.. clients can be so demanding.. I have done it years ago, now I prefer to take the candid shots like our header today – c

  6. Such happy and colorful wedding pics. And at last your rain has pulled back enough to have an outdoor event.
    And there happiness to know that Little has eaten more and is making some progress. Lots of prayers by many have been offered for him….and you.
    Summer is really upon us. It is to reach 100 degrees today with a heat index that is well past that and a good amount of humidity. The upside is that ponds and lakes are full again, grass is green everywhere during the part of the summer when we usually are having grass fires all around. Things in the garden and flowerbeds have not been themselves, however. Tomato plants are huge but with just a few blooms. Even with adequate water and sun the flowers are just not blooming and growing per usual either. A very unpredictable year. It makes my heart smile every time you post photos of your huge sunflowers.
    A peaceful Sunday to all at the Farmy and its community of friends.

  7. By the time I get to the comments, everything has already been said. So I’ll just post a “DITTO”. Love, Gayle
