My very first wedding.

Well, of course, this is my first wedding as a photographer, that is!  I have thousands of photos to rummage through, but these are a few that caught my eye.  I'll share more later!

I have so much more to share, but I'm posting from Pennsylvania now and don't have the pictures at my fingertips.

 

I think the most exciting part of this experience will be seeing Kyle and Jera's (the two super cool kids in the doorway above) pictures from the wedding!  We all have such uniquely different styles, I can't wait to see all of our photos together.  I spent the day with the girls, Kyle spent the day with the guys, and Jera floated about snatching details shots throughout the day.  I'm so excited!  I really think the event was a huge success.  And despite my aching body, I can't wait for the next opportunity to shoot a wedding!

Just as I suspected, the kits will be delayed.

But only until Wednesday! I just wanted to let everyone know, because I know some of you are standing by.  The kits will be for sale on Wednesday night at midnight, EST.  I am still awaiting a package of goodies to include in the kits, so hopefully tomorrow I will have a picture of the kits for you to see as well as a price.

I hope you all had a good weekend! I spent most of mine working on the kits, but I also had a lot of fun celebrating the marriage of a good friend.

Recessional

It was one of those perfect weddings with a perfect bride and groom.  I don't know the groom too well, but all anyone could say was how great he is at everything, how popular he is, how handsome he is.  And I know Sarah is a beautiful, practically perfect girl.

The church was beautiful, and I appreciated the historic aspect of the location.  It was the Presbyterian church in Canton where president McKinley worshiped when he was alive.

It was a little unreal seeing my friends from highschool with their children.  Phil and I received a few "When are you having children?" questions.  Gotta love those.

Sarah wanted to have a picnic style reception where everyone brought a covered dish.  The pavilion where their reception was didn't allow covered dish parties, as they keep a contract with a catering business.  But it was still very laid back and fun.

Reception

Doors

Sarah's brother, Ben, always seemed to be surrounded by girls.  He's not completely a ladies man, but it was funny that my camera always seemed to catch him surrounded by skirts.

Entrance

Next weekend I shoot my very first wedding as a professional photographer!  I'm pretty excited, and very nervous.  If you all have any tips, I'd so love to hear them!  And I'm not quite sure what I should wear.  All black?  Something comfortable, yet professional.  Anybody…?

Oh, and before the night was over, Phil and I managed to snag a dashboard shot… although unfortunately it turned out blurry and my face is all scrunchy on one side… heee!

And because I am totally and completely pooped,

I give you only pictures and a few words.  The wedding was totally and absolutely fabulous.  They were married at the Cleveland Palace theater, and in between the ceremony and reception, Arthur Murray Studios gave a dance lesson on stage.  The theater was amazingly beautiful, and I can't wait to see what the photographers did with the event!  I took 245 pictures, and here are just a few….

I can't wait for my turn to be photographer!  It's a bit frustrating when you just stand by trying to get out of all two photogs and one cameramen's way, while trying to frame up a decent shot. :)
