Yesterday I photographed my first full wedding on my own and I think I did pretty good.  I love taking pictures but weddings are not my specialty.  They are very time consuming and intense.  I was so nervous that something was going to go wrong.  If I make a mistake with a family photo shoot we can do it over again but a wedding you can't repeat (not that I make it a habit of redoing photo shoots).  So I was all about backing everything up and fortunately there were no mishaps.  I'm feeling pretty good about what I shot and I'm hoping everyone else involved does too.
Following are some of my very difficult collages that are practically impossible for anyone else to do.  But just in case you'd want to give it a whirl - I do use a Mac (I'm a Mac snob) but it's all done on Photoshop.  If you have Photoshop give me a call and I can easily walk you through it.
Also, I must give my husband accolades:  he has been so supportive of me in anything I want to do and yesterday was just another time that he was fully supportive as I was gone all day and night in order to shoot the wedding.  I married a Super Star!!!!

They turned out great. Now I feel guilty for not going to the reception, both of their families are in my ward (but I don't know the married couple). Did Diana Connelly hire you or Diane Hiatt? Hey, I just got photoshop and want to learn about the collages. I figured out how to make them but blogger won't let me upload them as a picture. I need your expert advice.

What a talented lady you are! Someday I need lessons from you in everything...I have a great camera, a mac, all the essentials and I am totally illiterate. I might as well be using a disposable camera and a typewriter.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Just like all photos that you take. I am always impressed with the eye you have for unique photos that catch special moments. They capture everything people want to remember from those special moments. Way to go!

You did a fabulous job. You are very very talented. We do need to move to Arizona so you can take our family pictures and then we avoid all the tornados.

You are so popular! You have 15 comments and I'm afraid to leave one at the bottom of this long list. I think that Melissa revitalizing your Homecoming Queen status boosted your popularity! Just kidding. Pics are great. I so wish I was better at taking pictures. Thanks for spilling the info on the mac. I love my mac but have found iphoto rather boring. I will go buy photoshop now.
