glad THAT's over

Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out.

It's over. I did it.

I had my first wedding yesterday. I wasn't nervous once I got there, but I'm thankful that I don't have to anticipate it anymore. It was in Bloomington so I wasn't able to visualize the venue before I arrived. Once there, it was fun!

My friend Molly with Molly Bea Photography came to help at the last minute. I'm second shooting for her next weekend in Michigan so she thought she'd return the favor. Molly had referred the bride to me so it was a natural connnction for her to be involved. I'm glad she was there. It was enjoyable to spend the day with a friend, and she has a gift of posing! She stood back while I did the majority of the shooting and then came forward with some rock star idea when I was finished! We made a good team!

I learned a few lessons-- specifically, I learned better ways that I could coach my brides so that they can get the best pictures, and now that I've done a wedding, I think I can be more assertive in telling them my opinion!

The bride was stunning. I can't wait to post pictures.
