February 6th Wedding in Snowy Minnesota

This was my first time being flown somewhere to shoot a wedding. A friend of mine from college told her brother about my wedding photography, and the family decided to book me to photograph the wedding. So the family flew me up to Minnesota and I attended the rehearsal dinner and wedding (and got to have some good quality time in the hotel w/ my friend from college who I shared a room with). Anyhoo without further ado, the photos! :)

5. The couple met at organ lessons, hence I had to incorporate the organ into their photos :)

    Beautiful
    Wow! These are beautiful! Wonderful Job --- Being flown in is quite the experience isn't it? -- we are being flown in to Oklahoma for a wedding in May --- So getting the details on the church and reception is quite tricky - The couple we are shooting have been wonderful -- We did there engagement pictures in Florida - and so now it's off to Oklahoma for the wedding. Book Building is the tricky part. How did you feel about scouting out the area on such short notice?

    and again --- Wonderful Job!!!! bowdown.gif

    Beautiful! I like the ring shots also. Most people would run (in the opposite direction) if asked to do a wedding in February in Minnesota! :D If you don't mind me asking, what church is that?

    Shima,

    Very nice. One and three are my favorites. Way cool set.

    Thanks for sharing.
    Remember, no one may want you to take pictures, but they all want to see them.
    Educate yourself like you'll live forever and live like you'll die tomorrow.

    I like! Like I said on Facebook, your ring on the piano shot is doable after all! :)

    Beautiful story telling...and yes, love that ring shot--but it reminded me of Heather's nightmare story of almost loosing some rings in a piano! I don't think I'm brave enough to try that kind of shot.
