Exciting - first couple shoot!


This is an exciting day! Today, I am posting two of my first photos! The first is actually an accidental misfire, but I'm so pleased with how the bokay came out that I just have to share it! I call it "Self Portrait Shock!"



I know I've talked to many of you about my hopes to photograph a wedding one day, so you'll be thrilled to learn that I have photographed a couple! They appear to be in love, which is the most beautiful thing in the world, and something I hope to capture again soon!

I shot this, but really wanted a closer photo, preferably with their faces, so I walked toward them. It was only then that I realized they had hired a photographer to capture their engagement! Well, this was a great opportunity for me to learn! So, I shadowed their photographer, and whenever he would line up for what I assume was a really great shot, I'd shoot it too!

Unfortunately, those shots didn't turn out super great. But I've still got this one! I did have one photo turn out pretty neat - it was actually a shot of the back of the photographer's camera! However, he informed me that I couldn't share that as my own, and threatened legal action.

Whoa there, guy! I'm just here having some fun, trying to do something good and kind for this beautiful couple! Anyway, he kind of forced me to delete it, so that was that. Wish you could see it - it was a real award winning photo that I took!
