This made me really laugh, and was one of those times when I really didn’t appreciate the humour of what just happened until afterward.
I was photographing Brianna and Scott’s wedding recently, in a favourite alley in Bendigo. I decided to try something ‘cool’ and asked Scott to lean on the door and watch admiringly as his gorgeous new wife, Briannna, did a sexy strut past him. I slowed my shutter speed to a 40th of a second to catch some motion blur on Brianna, and asked them to ‘go for it’…..
Enter stage right, (totally unscripted) ….. friendly black and white pussycat, who for some reason best known to himself needed to get to the other end of the alley right at that very moment. I was concentrating so hard on keeping my camera steady without a tripod at a 40th of a second…. I didn’t even see him until the 3rd frame, when I urged Scott and Brianna to “keep going….”
Ha ha ha ha…. you can see Scott’s attention drift from very real admiration for his wife, to “what the?…. what’s with this cheeky cat?…” I just love the way puss actually strutted BETWEEN the bride and groom, looking forward the entire time, as though this sort of thing is totally commonplace to him…. Ho Hum! Well, maybe it is! It’s a great alley, and I can only imagine lots of Bendigo photographers take wedding parties in there. Looks like ‘puss’ is very non-plussed by weddings and photographers.
I will make a full post about Scott & Brianna’s wedding in the coming weeks. I just had to share this fun snippet from the day now!
