This wedding was actually shot on January 10 of this year. Kristen and Kevin are both so beautiful. Kristen is actually my sister-in-law Lisa’s sister….got that!  So I have known her for sometime already.

Originally I was just asking Lisa if she thought Kristen and Kevin would let me take some photographs of them. When Lisa called me back and asked me if I wanted to do the whole wedding I was like..”WHAT, ARE YOU SERIOUS” well after working out all of my kinks (buying my camera, lenses etc.) I committed to their wedding.  I was purchasing stuff anyway just didn’t know how soon I could get it all. I decided on the wedding and received my gear the week of. YIKES

Let me just say “Wow” wedding photography gives your lower extremities a really good workout. My mom and sister were at the wedding and they were laughing at me because they already knew how bad my legs were gonna hurt the next day. If you don’t know me I don’t do exercise. I am working on it though very slowly.

So back to the wedding day…I’ll skip over the part about me needing to drive 2 hours to Fort Wayne in a blizzard with a car that has only front wheel drive-what were we thinking with that purchase? Obviously we weren’t. I just liked it. Oh and the part about my car deciding to act up and shake like crazy, my coats zipper getting stuck, having to get pushed down my street by my husbands uncle, two very low tires (had to stop and fill those bad boys up) and the toll road machine not taking my money. There that’s it, but let me tell you it was worth it.

That’s just it sometimes we have to be faced with all of these obstacles so we will rely on God even more to get us where we need to be physically and emotionally.  Lean on HIM as my mom has told me more than once lately!

Oh and the flower girl is my niece Jasmin…one ring bearer is my nephew River.

Thank you Kristen and Kevin for taking a chance with a “newbie”
