worked a wedding

-
This past weekend was my first wedding as the photog! The groom was a co worker of Kimmel's, Brent. They coached middle school hoodlums a variety sports together. When i talked to the bride i was very clear with her that i haven't ever done a wedding, and honestly wasn't sure i wanted to get into, so this would be my first. To which she responded, 'oh that's fine' and the groom said to Kimmel, 'we have seen her blog and like her work'. So i figured they knew what they were in for! haha I shall practice on you!  :)


Kimmel was my side kick for the evening and together i think we captured their night! I think together we took over 1200!! We only had one issue with a lens, and had to get batteries from the car for the flash. After the reception started Kimmel asked, "would you do another wedding" with a cute chuckle :) to which i responded 'Absolutely!' Even though my feet, back, and neck were hurting and my 'trigger finger' was so sore i had to use my middle finger i loved ever stressful, laughable moment captured. Ready to do another!  (will post more on the photo blog soon)

Can't wait to see the rest of them! Sorry my lens acted up, I usually use manual on that one so I didn't know it had an auto mind of it's own! Maybe I can be your second shooter one time ;) haha!

Spooky things afoot

The other night we heard a knock on the door...upon my answering there was no one there...just a plastic pumpkin filled with goodies and two pieces of paper. It said we had been "Booed". Something spooky was going on in our neighborhood and if we didn't want to get it again we were to tape the other picture to our door.    Since i couldn't find tape i used post-it notes...sad i know. haha There was a poem that came with it explaining how you are to make two more buckets/baskets, copy the two papers and pass it on by ding dong ditching them! I asked my neighbor and friend Kati to go with me cause Kimmel was at the football game. It was very exciting and crazy...i had never ding dong ditched...at least that i remember and i think i would remember something that fun! :) If you live in a neighborhood this is a great way to spread fun and get to know each other. I wish i kept a copy of the poem...but i am sure you can make something up that would be perfect! Happy sp...

What's Next?

This week is the first week of a new schedule for me. I am cutting my 'hours' in half at work. This means i go from the 40 hours a week to 20 in office hours. I am excited to see what God has next for me. As most of you know ministry isn't in an office, but the office time was suffocating me. So now there is freedom, freedom to do what i am not sure just yet. I have mentioned before Andrew and i's desire to minister to our lil townhouse circle, so i am praying for vision and opportunity there. Being domestic and a untired, focused wife to Andrew is another desire of mine. Don't have much to say just yet...i am excited on this new adventure. I will keep you posted as God shows me what the path his he has for us Kimmels :) He is a good God and i am glad He loves me! It is for freedom he set us free. It is for freedom i cut my pay in half :) hahaha

Since my sister's wedding when i was in 10th grade i have been in a total 13 weddings, none my own. At one point mom told me i needed to stop saying yes! I actually used two of the dresses twice believe it or not! :) It was a privilege to have girls in my wedding knowing that they trusted and loved me long time ago to be in their wedding and were willing and happy to come be in mine. This fall i have the honor of being in my best friend since 1st grades wedding-Amber, and Andrew's best friend's Kyle- we are both in that one! It is exciting to watch the stories unfold and share in their special day. I was at a shower for Maddie and Kyle's wedding this past weekend and i snapped a picture of this lil centerpiece the hostess had made. I thought it was really sweet and i had to share! One of the annoying thing about 'cute' couples is when they giggle. But its only annoying when you aren't that couple, minus public displace of giggling and such i find that aw...
