The Intoxicated Mother of the Groom

Let me set the stage for this story. This was one of my very first weddings. So many many years ago *grin*, white church on a hillside, beautiful setting. Can you imagine this scene. We arrived early to the wedding to get set up to shoot the formals prior to the ceremony and the mother of the groom can hardly stand up. She kept swaying during the shots and I continually had to remind her to look into my lens… "Hello…. Mom? Look over here…. " Finally broke down and used some tried and true methods used on toddlers to get their attention during a shoot. The famous phrase by Sam Puc "Ut – Oh!" Works everytime… even on the tanked ones.
