Whenever 2 or 3 are Gathered...
On my second day at the Venetian Hotel, I went down to the Grand Canal Shoppes to take a walk, I didn't want to bring my camera anymore since I just want to relax and roam around.
It was a Saturday and I saw a couple who just got married and are about to board the Gondola for a ride. I hurriedly went back to my room, w/c is about a 5-minute walk (one-way) to get my camera and shoot them riding that special white gondola especially reserved for newly married couples (the black one is for ordinary tourists).
But when I came back I already missed their ride and just saw them lovingly kissing each other. The groom kept kissing the bride awhile back, he must be really in love w/ his bride.
Luckily I waited awhile and saw another couple in the act of having their wedding ceremony held on top of the bridge.
And then another couple who are about to ride the white gondola to get married.
I didn't see this couple bring along some friends with them, but they did get a pastor and their videographer to ride the gondola while they were exchanging vows.
And having their first kiss there too (as the tourists watch, some even clapping
their hands and offering a congratulatory remark).
The great challenge now is for me to have the luck as well as the timing to take the three brides together, with me unobtrusively taking the shots.
I guess lady luck favors photojournalists like me. :)
The Venetian is my favorite spot in Vegas, because whether it's very hot outside or already dark at night, it's always the same cloudy cool skies inside this timeless place.
Whenver two or three brides are gathered together, it must Saturday at the Grand Canal Shoppes of The Venetian in Las Vegas!
