Filled in :
I’m slightly embarrassed about how long it’s taken me to write this blog post, but every time I sat down and began typing it felt as if my words just didn’t do my most recent experience in England justice. I felt privileged to second shoot for Hannah, the photographer behind Anna Beth Photography, in the quaint town of Ludlow, England! As with each time I second shoot a wedding, I learned different ways of doing things while taking a slight step back with the wedding day. Not only that though, this particular wedding taught me so much more.
Before I go into all quirks and lessons learned, we have to talk about the flight to Manchester! I’m not a person that finds flying particularly stressful or difficult. I quite enjoy it really! So I get to the airport, check in, go through security, get to my gate and wait- pretty standard, no real issues. Then I look up and see a flight to Orlando on the screen. So obviously I do the natural thing and panic. The representative at the gate desk said she had no idea about a flight to Manchester and at that moment they announced a change in gate. A huge sigh of relief came over me and I hustled to our new gate.
The new gate was so over crowded and again, Manchester wasn’t on the screen. Another announcement said we were switching gates, again. This happened once more until we were directed onto buses that took us to the plane on what seemed like the runway. I’ve never experienced anything like that with all the gate changes and ultimately getting shuttled to the plane.
Needless to say, by the end of the weekend, I was speaking like I grew up in England! I got a lot of, “Oh, I could listen to your accent all day” to which I promptly replied “My accent?! I could listen to your accent forever! It’s beautiful!”
We all had to agree to disagree on that one 😉
