Fran and Vic {St Petersburg Wedding Photographer}

Vic, Fran's soon to be husband, has been stuck on the bridge on his way, along with more than half of the bridal party, for a long, long time. There was an accident and it's stopped all traffic and he just can't get around it, he's in a parking lot, powerless. He left plenty early of course, but all the extra time is draining away like water out of a bathtub.

Fran's face, all smiles and glittering eyes up to that point, moves under a shadow as she hangs up with Vic. It hurt to watch.

Tizza, Fran's maid of honor, has a plan. "I'm going to do it! I'm going to do the crazy walk if you don't stop!"

Not satisfied that Fran was not going to stop, starting to cry that is, she gets up and starts leaning waaaay back and walking while throwing her limbs around like she's having a slow motion seizure.

You know you have good friends when they aren't afraid to make themselves look like crazy people to keep you from crying.

And it wasn't just her maid of honor, everybody that came out to witness Fran and Vic's vows were in love with them. They are just those kinds of people, magnetic, and you never regret being around them.

The crazy walk does the trick. Fran can't help but laugh and she's laughing with tears in her eyes. The traffic gods smile on Vic and the rest and they arrive just a few minutes late. Fran's glow comes back, the wedding, hosted by the Grand Plaza on St Pete Beach, was breath taking, and we got to make some great photos.
