I got up extra early to get myself and kids ready for the big event!! My girlfriend Julie, who lives in Chi-town, came over to help me out for the day. I would have been a complete disaster without her! Thanks Jules!! She was my plus one for the day. She was great at helping me to calm down because my stress level was thru the roof!! I was a complete wreck and so nervous to be taking the pictures!
When I got Carley dressed and her hair done I had her look at herself in the full length mirror. She lifted her arms above her head and while lowering them said, "I hope Maggie will think I am so beautiful." She was completely serious, and completely in love with her own appearance!!! She is only 3 years old...we are in sooo much trouble.
Both she and Emry looked so pretty. Emry said that she wants me to keep the flower girl dresses forever so that the little girls at her wedding can wear them too! I guess it's safe to say that Maggie hit a bulls-eye with my girls and those dresses!
Because of the day's schedule, I only had 1 hour and 20 minutes to take all the photographs. It was stressful! I was super nervous and I got stage fright right off the bat and couldn't remember how to work my camera properly! After I stopped and took a breath I was able to calm myself down and get to work. Their are a few things I would change about how things went, pictures I would have taken differently....or will take differently in the future if I ever attempt another wedding, and I would allow myself more time too. It was a little hectic getting all the group shots done and out of the way so I could have time alone with Bryan & Maggie. But, everyone was very cooperative, and it went smoothly, which was awesome!!!
All in all, for my first time shooting a wedding I'm really pleased with my performance, the shots I got and the end product. Hope you like 'em!!
