At first glance nothing in this photo seems out of place…

Unless you were there and realized the person ‘officiating’ in the center is photographer Paul Eaton {and husband of Laura Eaton) of Laura Eaton Photogrpahy

They were shooting at Joanna and Jon’s wedding, working with one of our teams lead by Christina Gargano Lupo  – Christina has been unable to reach the officiant  who is now late and they were getting closer to start time…

As the rest of the team organized the bridal party, Christina armed with her copy of the ceremony and readings, and Paul armed with a suit jacket borrowed from a guest… worked to pare down the ceremony a bit…

From all reports Paul did an AMAZING job! {while Laura documented the entire ceremony!!}

Several important lessons:

– ALWAYS have a complete copy of the ceremony and the readings on hand

– Know who you can go to in a pinch that is able to comfortably speak in front of a crowd

– Stay calm…

Joanna and Jon are married {when the officiant was finally tracked down Christina brought them in to sign the license}…. and they’ll have GREAT stories to tell their kinds

Nice Job Paul!
