Army Promotion Ceremony Quarantine Style

Army promotion corona style!

I love military ceremonies. I love the formalities the military brings to a casual world. I love the Birthday Ball, pinnings/promotions, re-enlistments, retirements and graduations!

“Are you available later today to do some photos?”

“Let me check my schedule… um yes I’m completely free!”

< Insert giddy dance!!! >

Most people don’t care to higher a photog for such a simple event. I totally get it, we didn’t do it either.

I regret it!!! We had a skilled hobbiest help us, but he wasn’t able to do what I would have… or tell me to take off the awful rain jacket that looked awful with my dress! C’est la vie.

Normally there’s a crowd. Friends, family, Marines, (Soldiers this case!), followed by a party funded by the new pay raise!

This time, there was:

  • Immediate family
  • Promoting Officer
  • 1 Friend/neighbor
  • 1 Photographer (me!)
  • No party

But how cool is technology that they live streamed it to friends and family everywhere!?

Promotions are a BIG deal. I LOVE that my job gets me invited to a bunch of them. Even better when we’re friends.

This 20 minute ceremony has a final gallery of about 60 images. Sounds ridiculous, but I promise you they’re going to have a hard time deciding their top 3 images that come with the package. Just check out these 20ish of MY favorites:

I find joy in chaos. The louder, the better!
