Cesar and Susan’s Wedding Day

I will not soon forget Cesar and Susan’s wedding day. Yes, it was a magical day full of love and commitment, but something else happened on that rainy first day of May in 2010… the great Nashville flood!
The wedding was scheduled for 6:30pm at the beautiful Riverwood Mansion in Nashville. Since we were doing the photos + video for Cesar and Susan, we had planned on arriving at Riverwood at 3:30 in the afternoon to shoot the rehearsal and then begin the photo session. It of course had been raining all day and I had to re-route a few times in order to even find passable roads. Fortunately, we made it… not knowing that the rain would continue off and on throughout the evening and reap unprecedented damage upon our great city!
Fortunately for us, the flood waters did not effect us at Riverwood. We only heard about the floating buildings and submerged highways via phone calls and facebook status updates!
Cesar and Susan decided to finish the reception as planned and they left at 11pm that night. Regardless of the weather, it was a beautiful wedding and the reception was full of music, dancing and a good time was had by all.
