I hadn&#8217;t seen her in years, so I asked if she needed any help. I&#8217;m guessing she didn&#8217;t really need it, but she graciously invited me to second-shoot. This gave me the opportunity to see Rebekah and also to get to meet Gabe and Lydia, both of whom are really cool people, and whose family and friends were delightful to spend time with.<\/p>\n<p>When I arrived at Gabe&#8217;s parents&#8217; house, he and the groomsmen hadn&#8217;t yet shown up, so I walked around greeting the dogs and the goats (yes, goats) and generally getting a sense of the place. Very shortly though, the guys arrived in this:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lumosstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/gabe-lydia-028-edit.jpg\" rel=\"prettyPhoto[g200]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-201\" style=\"border: 10px solid black;\" title=\"The guys with a VW Bus\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lumosstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/gabe-lydia-028-edit.jpg\" alt=\"The guys with a VW bus\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lumosstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/gabe-lydia-028-edit.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.lumosstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/gabe-lydia-028-edit-590x393.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I mean, as a photographer can you ask for more than that?

I&#8217;d never seen those before and commented on it. Gabe quickly gave the credit to Lydia for finding them, which I think gives a pretty good indication that they&#8217;re going to do very well at this marriage business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If the Volkswagen hadn&#8217;t been enough, it turns out that Gabe&#8217;s dad also has a classic Shelby Cobra. Despite the fact that Gabe was angry with the car (it had burned Lydia recently with its exhaust pipe) he agreed to be photographed with it. Let me make this clear, Gabe was angry with the <em>car<\/em> for harming his <em>bride. <\/em>Like I said, I think they&#8217;re off on the right foot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lumosstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/gabe-lydia-158.jpg\" rel=\"prettyPhoto[g200]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-204\" style=\"border: 10px solid black;\" title=\"Lydia and Gabe by the Cobra\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lumosstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/gabe-lydia-158.jpg\" alt=\"Lydia and Gabe by the Cobra\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lumosstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/gabe-lydia-158.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.lumosstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/gabe-lydia-158-590x393.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Gabe and Lydia opted to see each other before the wedding, so Rebekah went ahead and got a lot of the &#8216;formals&#8217; out of the way.
