St Simons Wedding










It is 3:30 Am and I am changing the ice pack I have on my eye at the moment. I was debating on calling this post " Black Eye" or "Drunken Jerk". But since there was only one drunken jerk out of a crowd of about 150 I just decided to go with St Simons Wedding.
First off let me say that my bride and groom today were the dream couple that I wish I could photograph every weekend. They were so open to suggestions for photos and you could tell that they are really in total love. The photos in this post are from today "Duhh"
Anyway, when the evening was over tonight, my bride and groom were running out of The King and Prince resort on St Simons Island amidst a big blanket of bubbles that were being blown into the wind by all of there wedding guest. Another wedding couple had just left the King and Prince also and instead of bubbles, they for some stupid reason were throwing bags of beach sand. Some of these bags were littered all over the ground at the front door of the hotel. Here is where the drunken jerk comes in. While I was taking a photo of my bride and groom getting into the vintage 1940's car, some one with an arm like an Atlanta Braves closer threw one of those bags of sand and hit me in the left eye. The bag exploded and sand filled my eye, camera equipment and mouth. Sand also got in the eye of a young lady standing next to me.
I think it would have been a lot worse if I had not had my glasses on.
But Anyway, the King and Prince is a fantastic resort and I would recommend it to anyone wanting some peace and quiet. But bring a loaf of bread and some peanut butter and jelly because the kitchen and bar close here at 10 pm. Enjoy the photos.
