And We're Off!

The wedding season has officially started (well, it started last month) and my first wedding of the season is this weekend in Kalispell. Bekah and Ian will be getting married! Let the chaos begin. My wedding was June 26th and so I now understand the craziness of being a bride. Keep your fingers crossed for full camera and equipment functionality (including cars and computers) during this crazy time of year. And we're off!

My first rave!

My first rave! This is a thank you note from Annie and Joe from their wedding that I photographed in November 2009. Always good to hear that you are appreciated :)

Annie and Joe Wedding 11.28.2009 Part 2

And out of all the 900 images I took that day, my favorite has to be Annie and Joe kissing Grandma. She's so sweet!

Annie and Joe Wedding 11.28.2009

Images from Annie and Joe's wedding from this past November! This was my first wedding photography job, and it actually wasn't as stressful as expected. It definitely helped that I had a beautiful, understanding and gracious bride (and whole entire bride/groom family) and I wish Annie and Joe a happy happy life forever together. As soon as my website is fixed some of these images will be posted under the wedding gallery. For now, the trusty blog will show my skills.

Guest Book 06.26.10

I am designing my own guest book with photos of Patrick and I for our wedding. It has three different kinds of layouts and here is an example of a two page spread. I'm going to go through Blurb and have the 7x7 book...this has posed to be a great distraction from all the other things I should be doing...

Recent Activity

WOW. So in the past two weeks I have booked three weddings, two senior portrait sessions, possibly a Christmas card for MSU, done another engagement session and entered two shows. I got into the Juried Show at Sweet Pea (it is displayed in the Bozeman County Library if anyone wants to see my photo) and was accepted at the Exit Gallery at MSU and will be doing a show with a fellow photography major, Leslie McDaniel (I hope I spelt her name right...). She did a project on adoption at later ages and I entered my family project. Our reception will be Wednesday, September 23 from 5-7 pm. Everyone is welcome! I still need to come up with a project to pitch at 1:00 pm on August 31st for my senior...hmm...any ideas? More updates to come.

Which Tux?

I loved how the guys' tuxes came together and really enjoyed their boutonnieres. Can't decide which photo I like better of these two. I like the angle of the first one better but the beard bothers me. I like the hot light of the background of the bottom one. Any comments? Any help would be appreciated (so I can decide which photo to use if I show these to anyone).

Lindsey/Kyle Wedding June 20, 2009

So, being a bridesmaid makes it a little bit harder to catch those photo opportunities during the wedding. Instead, I managed to get details of the wedding and some entertaining expressions of the bride from behind the scenes. Also got to do a little documenting of being a bridesmaid. Don't know how I feel about the photo of the back of the dress, I feel like there should be a vignette or something to give it a little umph. Beautiful wedding and a beautiful bride.
