A Fortunate "Fortunato" Wedding

I woke up this morning to pouring rain. Just what I had dreaded most. I picked up Alyssa (my assistant) and we headed to meet the bride and groom at their hotel where they were getting ready. All the pre-shots went great and we headed to the church...uh oh, still raining. But when we were almost there we saw grey skies ahead with no rain. We were so excited and giggled; we were getting lucky. And as we entered the church the sun broke through and the light shined in through the beautiful stained glass. Everyone around us made comments about how special that day seemed. Their ceremony was extra special since that was the church where the bride's parents were married and on that same very day! After the ceremony we headed to the Nixon Library for the reception and on the way it started to rain again. Ugghhh! Our happy faces soon drooped with disappointment with the thoughts of shooting in the rain. But as we pulled up to the Library the rain stopped. Can you believe it? The clouds moved over for us again and we were able to take some of my favorite wedding portraits outside. Again we were smiling from ear to ear and chuckled at the good luck we were having. But to top it off, the groom found a four leaf clover in the grass. So if ever a couple was blessed with good fortune...it's the Fortunatos!
