Photo’s of Love… Chapter 1

I am not a very photogenic person, I hate my big “all teeth and gum” smile. That’s why my place is behind the camera. 🙂

I have always been a nature photographer, I love trees, could sit under one for hours taking pictures.

Though recently I have been drawn to portrait photography, something about capturing a little piece of someone just makes me feel happy. Especially if it’s any type of celebration, seeing and feeling people’s emotions, it comes out in the picture, but also stays in my heart.

I had the honor and privilege of shooting the wedding of close friends. It was simply beautiful. Not only cause they were so easy to photograph, but I know their story, I know how they got to this day.  I know their happiness.

You can see it, and you definitely could have felt it if you were there!

What an incredibly awesome family they have meshed together!

One of the most touching photos I took that day was a replica of the grooms parents wedding picture. They got married in the same house…. same living room as his parents.

And here they are holding his parents wedding picture.

Like I said, I was honored that I was part of their beautiful day.

They are just the cutest aren’t they! I am happy they are apart of my life… incredible peeps here!

And we can’t forget the cupcakes…… Made by an incredible young 15 year old baker. (Who at the time was still 14) Such talent!

I have to add a small plug-in here. The bride…. Melissa Edmondson. She is an exceptional talented writer. She has been published in a few time in those “Chicken soup for the soul” books. The self-help short stories that can either make you laugh or cry. She just published her first book of short stories called “Lessons Abound” available on kindle books, goodreads and soon to be available in print. Check her out @missyspublicjunk here on WordPress!
