I have about three weddings I consider my first wedding.  I know that sounds crazy that maybe only one wedding could be my first…but I just can’t see it that way.  But the first time I was ever asked to bring my camera to photograph a wedding was at this Temple.  It was a disaster.  It was a neighbor of my sister and they couldn’t afford a photographer and as a result they had 50 wannabe photographers trying to take control of the situation.  It was pure chaos!  I was eighteen at the time and I swore I wouldn’t ever touch wedding photography with a ten foot pole.

It was a little bit daunting to shoot at this location again, but it’s amazing how several more years behind the camera can make all the difference!  My brides now trust me and so do their guests.  It’s so nice to see my clients relax in front of the lens and have full confidence in my photography.  Ashley and Ian are so much fun to photograph.  Every time I see Ashley behind the lens, I think, wow, she looks amazing.  You could tell how proud her family was to see her happy and having a wonderful time on her big day.  I was so glad to be a part of such a joyous celebration.  With a little bit more education and years learning my camera wedding photography has become simple for me and I love it!
