The first one, in June, I was the maid of honor for my friend Amber. Now, her wedding was not traditional. Both her and her husband had kid/s from previous relationships/marriages. Since they're all still under 10, and these two in general are just not the big fancy wedding type, they got married at The wAIRhouse in Salt Lake. This is a trampoline park. It sounds weird, but it was so perfect. The kids were able to enjoy the wedding and everyone loved it.
The second wedding is my cousin's. He married a gorgeous and funny girl that fits his world perfectly. I'd only met her once before, but even then, I knew she was the one for him. I think we all did. They got married in Wisconsin this past weekend, so we went out to just go to the wedding. When I got there I decided to put my camera to use and play around a bit. I took a few classes, I can now shoot manual, but I am in no way a pro. It was so exciting. They weren't planning on doing actual photo shoots or anything, but I still got them to do a few poses. Other than that, it was just capturing the happenings. It was so much fun. I took well over 1000 pictures, several of the same things of course. After weeding it down and editing, there are over 292. A few of those are duplicated with different coloring and whatnot. In any case, I feel like i was able to help preserve the memories of this fantastic day. If I had more planning and time to model people, I probably could have done more. BUT I feel like they were perfect and we captured the essance of the group.
I love that I was able to be a part of two weddings this year, I still sometimes dream of working with more weddings. Maybe someday!
Here are a few pictures.
