.Wedding.

I was invited to my cousin Amy's wedding on saturday...it was a really beautiful wedding in this sweet little church in Fownhope,just down the road from where i live.
The ceremony was lovely and so sweet & the after wedding party was awesome!! Loved every minute of it and saw a bunch of old friends that me & amy went to school with.

I took a couple of pics outside the church after the ceremony

My little cousin James at the wedding breakfast...he was the cutest thing in the world,always wanted his picture taken and spent 2hrs talking about Flo from disney pixar cars.

I need to go see Amy & Ali (the happy couple) soon...before Ali gets deployed. Hes sadly being sent out to Afghanistan with the British Army,Royal Engineers.

Congrats & good luck Amy & Ali Roberts.

A couple more

Im slowly editting the photos from the wedding..i want to get them done as soon as i can but its not easy with visiting all the time.
Ive decided that although i'll keep a color version of each photo...my black and white passion cant be ignore. Im in love with childish davids bw actions and have editted my first 2 using his bws.



The first shot is James & Lynda with their parents and the 2nd is the same group shot from the storyboard in the black and white version. I like them but im not sure yet..ive got the rest to do yet but i'll update as i go along!

The Wedding

My cousin James got married yesterday..yay..only 19yrs after him and Lynda got together!! I was 2 when they first met..oh man!! I was 2nd shooter at the wedding but man was that a task an a half..being a guest and a photographer was a mission..but im grateful to my cousin and Lynda for the opportunity to have a go at photographing a wedding..this was my first try and im still a complete novice but they were totally great about me practicing at their wedding.Being a guest was fantastic..they broke the mold at last..inviting only cousins that they grew up with to the actual wedding and exluding aunts & uncles from the main event.Our mums come from a family of 9 children..i am the youngest of the nieces and nephews at 21 and the eldest is in his mid 40's..so you can imagine the number of cousins and 2nd cousins there were to invite without worrying about aunts & uncles aswell.Most aunts and uncles were invited to the after wedding though and the kids of all our cousins were invited to that aswell.

We're a close family so it was a nightmare trying to get a minute away from them to get the photographs and as second shooter i had to work around the set ups of the main guy..he stuck with traditional photos and poses which limited my chance of 'experimentation' but still i think i did ok and got a few good shots.

I havent got round to editting any of the shots yet..aside from correcting exposure,levels etc due to the very bright sun that i had afew issues with.I put together a storyboard style thing to see what it would look like.I like how its come together so im excited to see what i can produce once i have editted the shots and got the finished product.
