So the day I ordered my new camera, my friend, a wonderful and gifted photographer, contacts me to say she had her first wedding to shoot. "We could DO this!" she said to me. Naturally, my first thoughts was..."No way! I don't even have my camera yet and I'm going to assist at the most special day of someone's life?!" In fact, funny how God works sometimes, but I had actually made it quite clear I was NOT going to shoot weddings if I started doing this for a living. Too much pressure. If you miss the moment, it's gone. SUCH a special day, I don't want to mess it up. But, in a manner completely uncharacteristic to my old self, I found myself saying, "Sure, I'm in."
And the experience was a complete joy! Talk about a rush! :) I totally felt in my element and loved meeting the bride, the groom, the wedding party, being a part of immortalizing the day for them. And the beauty...wow. I was so honored to be let in on the beauty of this day.
If you want to see more of this stunning day, I've posted a larger number of the wedding pictures on my Facebook page. (Just click on the link above to go there).
And here's to taking risks!
