Wedding Photography - Holly & Trey

Wow, things have been crazy.  I just got licensed and worked my first week as a pharmacist.  I haven't had much time for photography between that and redecorating/cleaning the apartment.  My husband and I did go to a wedding recently, and the bride asked me to photograph the guys getting ready.  Here are a few from the morning!

The Beginning...sort of

Starting around age 11, I started taking tons of pictures.  They weren't necessarily great pictures, but I took a lot of them.  By my sophomore year of high school, I was developing a roll of film almost every 2 weeks or so.  I would put my photos in albums, and I would also cut them and put them all over bulletin boards in my room.  I've never actually bought my own digital camera, but my mom got one when I was in high school and I used it all the time.  Then I used Steve's (my good friend) digital camera until he got a new one and gave me the old one   Then, a couple of years ago, my husband found a digital camera in the parking lot at a concert when we were dating, and he took it home (bad boy).  I took over that camera as well.  I've just always loved photos and taking photos.  I even like being in photos.  As an older teen I was helped a friend with her portfolio by modeling for her.  It's not that I necessarily love looking at myself, but I do like photography. 

As soon as I got engaged, I knew that a big portion of my budget would go towards photography.  Before the wedding, Jennifer Dukes, who is a friend of mine from high school, took our engagement photos.  Then I had boudoir photos done by the wonderful Critsey Rowe as a wedding gift for my husband.  We hired Martha Manning as our wedding photographer, and she did an excellent job with my bridal portraits.  I haven't seen my wedding photos yet, but I can't wait!!  My husband knew how much I liked photography, and how I've always wanted a DSLR.  I'm glad I made it clear because he got me one as a wedding present!!! I love that man!

So this is the beginning of my journey with my new Canon Rebel EOS T2i.  I love it, and even though I don't necessarily have professional skills yet, my pictures look wonderful! ....in my opinion at least. ;)

Here are just a couple of my faves so far.  I hope you enjoy!
