I don’t normally take on weddings but after taking pictures for “S” twice already, I was happy to do it!!  The wedding was beautiful, located at a botanical gardens that I didn’t even know existed.  In fact, I don’t think anyone knew it existed before Saturday.  What a beautiful place, full of trees, paths, plant life, ponds, etc. 

I was a nervous wreck though, it’s my nature.  I usually stick to all natural light outdoors so using my flash was a challenge (part of the reason that weddings make me so nervous).  But there was a lot of light mixed with shade coming through all the trees so I had no choice.  For the most part, my flash worked quite well. 

It was late in the afternoon but still a little warm.  I don’t know if it was the heat or the nervousness but I was sweating to the point of pure embarrassment.  Note to self: if I ever take on another wedding, I’d bringing someone to wipe my forehead. :)   I have to give a huge thanks to Brad (the hubby) for helping me out so much.  I don’t think I could’ve done it without him.  He helps me stay organized, carries most of my equipment, gives me posing ideas when I’m braindead, love that guy!!!

Here is a sneak peak “A” and “S.”  I’m working hard to get the pictures done!!

What a sweet couple!!  And….I just loved how easy going they both were.  Sometimes, the guys have a hard time enjoying taking pictures but he was trying his hardest, despite a cold. 

It was good to see you again “C.”  Congratulations on your engagement!!!

It took my sister and my brother-in-law, me and my husband to keep Noah entertained long enough to do this quick photo session.  It always amazes me how a few good pictures can make you forget how hard it was to catch those few smiles. :)   That precious nephew of mine definitely has a mind of his own so we had to start getting creative to keep him from taking off. :)   Always a challenge, always a bigger reward…man that kiddo can take some good pictures, he must get that from his parents. :)
