My First Wedding

I photographed my first wedding over Memorial Day weekend! What did you think I was talking about?! I don't know why people have trouble understanding me...

Anyway, outdoor wedding in Washington? Were you in the area for Memorial Day? Do you remember what the weather was like. R-A-I-N. The weather made an official person to hold an umbrella over my camera a necessity, and an evening reception indoors led to some challenging lighting situations. But, thanks to Photoshop, I still came out with some good shots...

Silly shots are the best. The bride and her siblings...

If you haven't noticed by now, the whole wedding party wore cowboy boots...

The bride found hers used, and the owner of the shop said they'd had them for like 7 years! They were in her size and even super narrow! So sweet!

I now pronounce you man and wife, now get to the dry reception hall!

The bride didn't want the groom to see her before the ceremony, so we got the whole wedding party all in one place at the reception...

Wow! Congratulations Russel and Karmin! It was a beautiful wedding and I wish you all the best! I'll have all the pictures done very soon!

Oh, yeah, about the food. Mom and I did the cupcakes...

I'm jealous, I think hers turned out better than mine. Hers are the chocolate.

And, fried chicken at a wedding?

I got ridiculed by a guest for taking this picture, but, people - fried chicken! Fried chicken at a wedding is the best idea ever! Too bad I didn't get a piece!
