Traveling wedding photographer + photography/small biz educator.

Mesmerized by the way two people love each other, each so uniquely.  I always leave room for dessert. Believe swear words are just sentence embellishers. Think indulgences are necessary in this life. 

hey hey

Parties with all the best people in their lives.

Love stories in all forms without the white dress... or maybe they wore white, it happens.

Just my little thoughts on different topics of planning your wedding day big party or just you two.

Stories of two lovers making it all about them, as they should.

A week or so ago it was so nice out, I insisted my good friend, Molly and I go out for a little fun shoot. 1. It was nice out and 2. we discussed a few weeks ago that we needed to do this this month. Last March we took a trip to Vancouver with some friends. Our friends got engaged on that trip! The entire trip I was trying to take better pictures of Vancouver and it just wasn’t working out. So when I came home I decided I needed to work on my photography. And by work I meant take okay photos and edit them cause that fixes everything, right? WRONG! Our friends liked the photos I was taking and asked if I’d do an engagement session for them. I said YA! Love to! I was out of my mind!

I realized quickly that I had never posed people before I’d only chased my daughter around taking photos. So I asked Molly to come out with me and use her for practice. I new to get better and learn my camera I needed to change it to manual. I thought that meant change the focus to manual. My camera was still on Auto. I had A LOT to learn! This was what I considered at the time as my first session! I no longer do as I realize I knew nothing. So since it’s been a year from that time we thought it would be fun to go out to the same place and do photos again, a year later. I’ll be blogging in the next couple days showing both sessions to hopefully inspire new photographers that you can learn SO much in a year if you really work on it! But for now. Here are the photos we took the other day.

Had to share this one, just for some fun 🙂
