Wedding Season!!!

Ok not really - but it seems that way this year! Two weeks ago, I attended and photographed my second cousin Josh's wedding to his new wife Ashlee. I think that went pretty well, but I am still learning! Here are a few sneak peaks:



In October one of my oldest friends Steven is getting married, as is a good friend Amy. November will bring THREE weddings - my dear friend Melanie (whose I am coordinating), my youngest cousin Kelly (photographing), and another wedding that I am photographing (first non-family client) for Bryanne!

I LOVE weddings!! All the many beautiful details involved is what gets me, and the more creative you can be the better! If I hear that anyone is getting married I start itching to get involved. I read the blogs obsessively. Each issue of Martha Stewart Weddings speaks to me from the grocery store shelf, and I buy it, each time!

Can you imagine what I will be like when I get to actually plan my own!?! Poor Michael :)

Reprising the blog! And other updates on life...

It is an obvious fact that I am a neglectful, non-committal blogger - maybe a non-blogger is better! I started one because Melissa started one, and then I never really committed.

Michael will be sent away to sail the high seas in another month, and while away he cannot check any personal email, no Facebook, no Myspace. He can however check my blog link! So I will be posting random life adventures and photos on here for his enjoyment (and others as well). I so admire my friend and diligent blogger Devon for her regular blog posting - thanks for the inspiration Devon!

In other news it seems that this Fall is wedding season (normally reserved for the Spring of the year). This past weekend I attended my second cousin Josh's wedding. They asked me to do the photography since I dabble in it on the side. It was my first wedding, and it was soooo much fun! I posted some sneak peeks on Facebook, but with over a thousand photos it will be awhile before I process them all. I appreciated them letting me help out. My youngest cousin Kelly is getting hitched in a little less than 3 months. She has asked me to help out with engagement photos and covering her November wedding. She picked an awesome locale - I am so excited. I am attending two additional weddings in October and one in November. Phew - so busy, but I am glad since Michael will be away.

Lastly, I seem to be having vicious sinus issues. I am trying to decide at what point to go see a doc...
