I had been looking forward to Rosamond’s wedding the whole year through. She and I have been friends since law school, going back well over a decade, and I was so happy when I heard that she and Duke were getting married! The wedding took place in Malibu, California, right at the tail end of a rainy week. Even as I drove over to the hotel for the prep shots at 5:30 in the morning, there was some drizzle in the air. But that turned out to be it. The clouds parted, the sun came through, and everything went off without a hitch. It was great to be both a guest and her photographer, and I felt lucky that I was able to be there with her the whole day through, as I watched a good friend get married.
