say "CHEESE"

Did you know I was a


Wedding Photographer?


*****


I didn't know I was one either!


Hey, I'm just as shocked as you are.


*****







Just because I took a few engagement pictures and they turned out sort of descent, doesn't make me a "Wedding Photographer!"


******
But this precious nephew and his fiance' think that I am!


******
So we are off in the morning to Birmingham, AL. to attend and to pretend to be a Wedding Photographer.


******


Wish me luck because I'm already a nervous wreck.
*****
Fortunately my youngest son Travis will be going also to shoot the wedding. He is much better than I am at this photography stuff. So glad he agreed! Two cameras are better than one and we have doubled our chances of having at least 2 pictures turn out well enough to frame.

If any remotely turn out well, I'll try and have some up by the weekend.

That's exciting. No. 1 rule when taking wedding pics.....when you're setting up your shot ask everyone else to wait until you get yours taken before they take their picture. Otherwise, you'll get shadows from their flash that you don't want in your photos. Blessings, SusanD

Oh Gigi you stop it! You REALLY have a talent and an artist's eye and I know you are going to shoot some amazing photos. I bet Travis picked up his talent from his Mom!

Have a wonderful and safe trip!
