My 2 mins of fame (behind the lense)

I have a BAjillian things I could write about. It has been so long since I have posted. Let me start with the one. I was hired to be the photographer at a wedding! It was a day and a half ordeal. Day one I took pictures of her getting ready, pictures of her (Jerusha) and Logan and Bridals. Now I took around 1200 pictures total. I gave them around 1000. And I edited or decided to edit or not 800pictures. I had only committed to edit 30 but it was just hard to stop at 30 when I was so proud of them and each one I took I had a creative vision of what I wanted them to be. I also committed to giving it to them in 3 weeks but had it done in under a week. I was paid for my hard work which made it even more fun. So anyways. I am going to share some of the more creative ones.

Getting her hair done day two
Her hair day one
I called this one "Looking Into the Future".
and "Reflecting on the Past".
All the family that did her hair and make up for Bridals. They were so much fun to be around
Now the Bridals/Couples Pics








So this was all Day one. Day two, I paid a sitter. And from 9am to 9pm I was a working lady. This was getting ready for the Wedding, The wedding, and the reception. Plus a whole lot of driving:)

 The reason they picked this temple is because Jerusha (the bride), went through it when it had an open house. So i wanted to be sure and get a picture of the sign that said Erected 2009. There is a better shot later too.

 It was really windy at first.
 A picture of me, in a reflection. I was really wishing I would have had someone take my picture as I was loving my outfit and hair.

 Shannon has to be a type 4, every time I see her I think she is just stunning.


 Everyone that came to the temple that stayed to watch the bride and groom walk out.




 They were so cute together. They made each other very happy and were fun to photograph.
(I need to note that my brother wanted to help me out and was unable to make it. So he edited a couple pictures for me for fun. I will be sure to point them out. Credit where credit is due. I took this one and he edited.)
 
And since I made this post so long, why not a little longer!! Some of the more detailed oriented pictures.

(my brother also edited these hand pictures. Interested in more of his work check out [ibrewer] on facebook.)


(Isaac edited this hand as well, pretty cool!)

 Where's Evan?

 Sorry these are side ways
 I love this picture of Mandee. Maybe I will re post it the right direction, maybe.
 My sexy husband and cute little Caleb.
Well sorry if you wanted a quick read. This was very long. These are just a few of my favorites. I had to sign a photo release form yesterday so they could have them printed since they looked" professionally done" I was told. That made me feel good.  I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do it again sometime.
