Monday Musings 7.19.2010

This past week was a lot of fun. Social work for the first three days then I traveled to Utica, NY where I had the pleasure of photographing Kristina and Jason’s wedding.

While at the couple’s wedding I had the opportunity to meet one of Jason’s friends, Steve Gregory. Jason introduced me to Steve about a year. This wasn’t a formal introduction but one of those “I’ve got a friend…” introductions. Steve plays strong safety for the San Diego Chargers. I couldn’t believe how laid back and humble Steve’s presentation was. My son called me during the reception to ask how the wedding was progressing. I asked Steve if he would speak with my son, who while not a Chargers fan is a huge football fan. My son has played football since age 8 and is now moving on to play Linebacker for Alfred University.Steve offered to speak with my son when he called. I heard Steve’s portion of the conversation and again was impressed. I was thankful to have met Steve and to have made his acquaintance.

Thanks Steve for the photo, the phone call and autograph for my son. I’ll remember that always.

Jason and Kristina had their first dance of the night as a married couple.

Kristina’s dad jumped in with the band and played the drums like a pro. He lead the band playing Kid Rock’s “All Summer Long.” I’m not sure what his musical background is but you could have fooled me into thinking he was an original member of the band.

All in all it was a pretty awesome week. Fantastic wedding with really great people.

Stay tuned later in the week for a sneak peak from Kristina and Jason’s wedding.

Thanks everyone for reading. Keep coming back. There’s sure to be a lot more excitement.
