We have had quite the heat wave here recently! Oppressive humidity and highs flirting with triple digit temperatures make going outside feel like walking through pudding. Thank goodness for A/C!
The heat makes anything outside more challenging, whether is be working in the yard, washing the car, outdoor dining, playing sports or whatever; it’s just plain uncomfortable. How about this: let’s get dressed up and stand around in this heat… and get married? That’s exactly what one couple did last weekend. It’s always exciting to see a couple start their lives together. I would have of course preferred something indoors in A/C but no one asked me. So I along with my friends Richard and Cindy put on on our best moisture-wicking clothes and covered the event with our lenses. THANKFULLY, a rainstorm late in the day cooled things down a bit and heavy cloud cover shielded us from the sun. Despite the latter, we were all still soaked to the bone within the first hour of a long evening. It didn’t matter though, we were all having a good time. That’s the important thing - working and still having fun. You just can’t complain with that combo.
I’m sure the bride’s dress was steaming hot but you woudn’t know it from her smile!

That’s like the best picture ever. She’s so happy. I can’t help but hope that they are ALWAYS that happy looking at that photo. Wow. Awesome for them.
Honestly, you should be in Wisconsin right now. Thankfully, mother nature is being awesome to us since winter was soooooooooo horrible last year. We haven’t recorded a day over 90 (at least, not counting humidity) in Madison yet this summer. Which means we probably won’t. Or if we do, it’ll only be a day or two. It’s been GORGEOUS. Of course, now to me “really hot” means like 88, so my body is a little screwed up. It was like 70 outside last night, and I was in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt and shivering. Ha - crazy, right?
