Up in the air

Tuesday morning was an early start as I was photographing Richard and Sue's wedding on a hot air balloon!  We met at 5.30am and then convoyed over to rendezvous with the other balloonists to release the test balloon and establish the launch site.

By 6.30 we were at the launch site in Davenport and along with about 7 other balloons were inflated and ready to go.  Bob of bobs balloons (www.bobsballoons.com) conducted the nuptials and then they were off with their wedding party  for truly the ride of their lives!

Touchdown was about an hour later. before heading off for a celebratory breakfast at Bahama Bay resort (www.bahamabay.com).

Thanks to Richard, Sue (and Bob too) for a great - if VERY hot morning!
