A little NT wedding story…
The day before the wedding, we headed to Territory Wildlife Park and were having the best time. We were cruising around in one of the buggies, got a little too much momentum happening and… yep. I accidentally went flying forward and absolutely scraped the s**t out of both my knees.
Typical Sally.
it looked horrendous. And honestly, everything I was doing to try and make them better was probably just making them worse.
With a wedding the next day, I knew I couldn’t exactly rock up with my knees looking like that, so Bunt was sent off to the chemist to find me some really good bandages which he did, because thank God for Bunt.
The next morning I had my tights on, which I NEVER wear to weddings, purely because I didn’t want anyone seeing my poor knees.
Then my sister arrived to help me for the day, saw my knees and basically said, “You cannot work like that.” 😂
So off she went and bought me a brand new dress.
And honestly, once I had that dress on and the tights were off, I felt SO much better.
It made me think about all the little things that happen before and during wedding days that nobody ever sees. Things go wrong, life happens, bodies get scraped, plans change… and somehow, you just have to keep going.
As wedding photographers, we can’t let much get in the way. Our couples have been waiting for this day, and our job is to show up, be there and get it done.
And sometimes that means doing it with two very ugly knees.
I’m just so grateful for the little lifesavers I have around me especially my sister, who saw the problem, fixed it and got me feeling like myself again.
