THE PHOTOGRAPHERS PRAYER
LORD!
We praise thee, and ask you to protect the Shooter from themselves, and others —
May they have clean glass, enough SD cards, a second shooter,
clean underwear after the event, and fully charged batteries —
May there be an abundance of good weather, and good indoor lighting —
Prayerfully, a Catholic Priest who allows the use of Flash if not ambient light…
May he or she find the perfect Bride, a Bride who is understanding,
listens carefully, and who duct taped her mother —
May she be drop dead gorgeous, under two hundred fifty pounds
and is not a card carry-ing member of Bridezillas, Inc.
May the caterer service the meal with etiquette and an approach
to the level of cuisine befitting the occasion even if it's only
Hamburgers and Wings and may the Wings be mild, thank you.
May the flowers in the Church be as ordered and the selection
coordinating with the rest of the styling — No Ragweed, Venus Flytraps,
Poison Ivy, nor stuffed Bats unless it's a Gothic gig.
May the limousine arrive in time, hopefully with the groom sober,
and the best man remembering to drop the pole dancers
off and still has the rings or where he last left it —
May the flower girl have a fresh diaper on and not try to
beat the little boy ring bearer to death, cause he stole a kiss —
May no one or many former lovers still awaiting child support
stand up in chorus when the Priest asks,
" Is there someone who is against this marriage.”
When it's all over may the photographer, “ Say thank you Lord" and
know and believe he got pictures worthy of publication, and he did
the job to the best of his ability —
AMEN
