my first wedding

So I've been a second shooter at a few weddings 

recently, but never have I done anything of the sort alone.

One of my friend's parents called me up a few days ago and said my friend Kaylie

didn't have a photographer staying for her reception and wondered if I would step in.

Well, I've never done this sort of thing on my own before and didn't know if I had the right

equipment..but I worked up the courage and told myself I could do it.

Here's a little preview of the wedding reception I shot tonight 

all. by. my. self.

 I can't even describe how cool it was to shoot a whole wedding reception by myself.  I was pretty nervous going into the night, but I had the confidence I could do it and I'm so happy with how the pictures turned out.  I think it's awesome when Jesus allows you to magnify the talents He's given you.  I've finally found my passion after so many years of wondering, and it feels good. I'll share the rest later this week on my new photo blog.  Yes, you heard that right..NEW photo blog.  Anyway, I had so much fun tonight and I'm so content knowing I've found what I want to do for the rest of my working life.  Photography makes my heart happy.
