I knew I had an interview with a bride and groom for July 30, 2011 at 5:30pm.  It was clearly on my calendar.  Alarms were set. I would be right on time.  Me who hates being late so much I always arrive early……there I was 30 minutes late to my appointment.  I apologized to them several times throughout the interview. Meantime in my head was the thought that perhaps they were thinking, “If we hire you will you be on time to photograph our wedding”?

What happened?  Very simple truth.  I got lost in going through images from a recent wedding I was processing.  I didn’t hear the alarm. I lost track of time.  I love what I do so much that I can and often do forget about everything around me.

Was I wrong in being late? Very much so!  Here I am the day after blogging about it because it bothers me very much.

They were really delightful, cute together, and at locations I love to photograph at.  I sat there during the interview mentally posing them and thinking of ways they would look fabulous in their images.

All you can do when you make a mistake is come clean and be totally frank.  Then you apologize and mean it.   I am very sad over this one!   I have missed two appointment lately.   I need to rethink my calendar and alarms on events AND NOT EVER NEVER EVER DO THIS AGAIN!
