My Cousin's Wedding

The title of this post sorta reminds me of My Best Friend's Wedding.  Or My Cousin Vinny.  Sadly, this post won't be nearly as interesting as either of those movies since there was no ex-girlfriend trying to steal the groom away nor was anyone being accused of murder.  The bride and her mother did get stranded at the temple after the ceremony.  That was pretty interesting.

Anyhow, this is the story of my sweet cousin, Michelle, and her sweetie pie, Zach.  Well, there's no story, really, just pictures to look at for all of you who have been asking. :) 

(Just a little side note: I'm not a professional photographer, nor do I claim to be.  I love photography to bits, and some people are nice enough to allow me to take photos for them.  My cousin Vinny Michelle, for example, was trying to figure out how to have a nice wedding on a budget.  I volunteered for the job of photographer, and she accepted.  It was a learning experience, that is for sure.  I mostly learned that I have a lot more to learn. :)  Grant borrowed my Dad's camera and became my second shooter.  I would never do a wedding alone.  For every "dang, I missed that shot" moment one of us had, the other luckily got the shot.  Whew! 

Without further adieu, the photos:

Word Gets Around

Man, I am on a roll with this blogging thing. Go me. Just don't expect it to last, you one person who reads this blog ;)

Word gets around that a person likes photography, and next thing ya know people actually want you to take pictures of them.  Who knew?

I have had the awesome opportunity to take some photos of people I really like.  Just thought I'd share them.  I'm just a hobbyist, people.  I know they aren't professional, but I thought some turned out pretty nice considering it's natural light indoors and I have an aging Nikon D60. 

 This is Mindy's family.  She had just had a brand new baby girl.  What a beautiful baby girl she is.  And I'm not just saying that.

  

 This is Mindy's sister, Brittany.  She has a pack of very handsome boys.  They were a lot of fun to take photos of. 

 I took Mindy's and Brittany's photos after I took some photos for a dear friend of mine, Kim.  She had baby number four and wanted some photos of just the kiddos.  After I did the photos for her, Mindy and Brittany (her sisters-in-law) asked me to do some photos for them, too!  I loved it.  I learned a lot and had a great time, to boot!
