Just Wed

Well, for my first experience shooting weddings, this was definitely the best set up. As casual as Jennifer and Todd are, it was a delight to work with them and their family... Everyone was very relaxed and kicked back... perfect "first wedding"! Jennifer has such gorgeous eyes and such a hot little bod, she's easy to work with!


The flower girl, Jennifer's niece, Lauren, wanted to do her own toast... it was so cute!
The Waelty brothers. I knew these guys all growing up... from what I remember, nothing has changed.
They were so loving and sweet... this couple is truly wonderful and in love with Jesus!
The wedding was at a close friend's home in Sonora... to be married under such mature and nurturing oaks... I found it completely romantic and symbolic.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience... my biggest complaint was the lighting as it was a late wedding (7pm) and we lost all natural light shortly after the ceremony. Thankfully Todd and Jenn agreed to allow me to shoot a "week after" shoot of them as I barely got any photos of them together (in their new oneness) before losing my light. Sigh.
Have fun in Costa Rica, you two and congrats on your exciting adventure!

Stashed Away

You know who is away? Yours truly. I'm still in beloved Sonora while the amazingly devoted and sacraficial Daddy Mock took the kids home from camping. While he is at work doing camping laundry, balancing nap times, and feeding kids (am I so lucky?), I am here crafting a homemade prop for my first official wedding I will be shooting (which is tonight, wish me luck!!).

Thank you to Kade, my hammy helper that was happy to participate in "practicing".
