Jessica + Joshua + Ninja Shots.

Here are some of my favorite shots from Jessica and Joshua’s wedding!

Assisted with Seth Snider Photography.

A few sentiments written on a picture of the couple…

The details of this wedding made me want to go grab a Pumpkin Spiced Latte at Starbucks!  After realizing I might get fired if I do that, I chose to just take pictures instead.  :)

I loved the fall details they chose, and they had some many more.  Here are just a few.

The next several images are officially deemed my Ninja Shots.  Since I was assisting at this wedding, I was able to play around more angles and location.  They chose to get married outside in a gazebo, and I chose to bust out my 300mm and position myself “just so” between some bushes.  I felt like a spy.  Or a ninja.  I’ll go with ninja.

They had a spotlight on them for their first dance.  As it should be.

It’s Jewish tradition for the bride to circle around the groom 7 times.

She thought looking at the field and the horses would be more fun than getting her picture taken.  I think I would too…

There’s a First Time for Everything.

Okay, well not everything. I will not have a first time for sky diving or bungee jumping, eating any strange ocean creatures or doing any Survivor Man adventures. (I’ve got to draw the line somewhere. And let’s be honest… it stops way before eating strange ocean creatures.)

However, I did have a first time for shooting a wedding. I was thrilled to have my husband come along as my second shooter, and thrilled that Kelly and Charles took a chance on me as a first time wedding photographer!

Here are some of my favorite shots. Kelly and Charles – good luck to both of you. You are a beautiful couple!

Getting Ready… I think my favorite part of the day to shoot!

The wedding was located on a ship. Here is Kelly walking from the Bridal Suite at the top of the ship down to her guests and groom!

kites, sticks and a field is all you need.

They should be Gap Kids models. Or Children’s Place models.  But today they were my models.  We didn’t do frilly outfits or bows in their hair.  We did kites, sticks, a field and lots of running around.  After all, that’s what kids actually do.  I just try to capture it.

Meet Natalie and Lauren.  (You’re meeting mostly Natalie.  She’s undeniably more of a ham.)

I never wanted to shoot a wedding.  Or help shoot a wedding . Or think about shooting a wedding.  Until I did.  Thank you, Seth Snider, for letting me have the privilege of assisting you and for the experience that began to open my eyes on why you love wedding photography so much!

These are just a few of my favorite shots from the day.  Kelsey and Aaron, I wish you the best!

here’s me…

I’m not much of a blogger.  Sigh. But, I want to be.  So here it is.   My first photography blog.  As I learn to write about my pictures and whatever else comes to mind, hopefully you will learn to love my blogging!

My promises to you…

1. I will try not to be boring.  (I said try. Don’t hold me to anything.)

2. I will try not to post too many pictures of my kitty.

3. I will not clog your inbox up with no more than a few blogs a week.  Or month, let’s be honest.

4. I will try not to talk about Jasmine Star too much.  (my favorite photographer right now… love her!!)

5. I will try my hardest to always be grammatically correct.  (Although I have a horrible habit of starting a sentence off with a preposition!)

And because a post is always better with a picture… (I’m quoting Jasmine Star, here… I’m limiting myself to mention her once per blog.)  here are a few shots that Jeremy took of me recently for the website.  We did a bubble gum/umbrella theme!

It’s great having a husband who can design your logo, take your picture and tell you you’re the best photographer in the whole wide world!  Everyone should have one of those.
