First Wedding Photos!


They say if you want something bad enough, you have to get out there and work for it! Well, that's what I've done! First I bought this awesome camera. Next I kept my eyes open for wedding couples I could photograph! 

Last year, I came across that couple being photographed during some sort of engagement. I got a photo of it, and was really proud. Their photographer was a bit brusque, but I still came out with a great image to show for my efforts!

And just last night, while walking Boopkis down at the park, I spied these two beauties posing for photos! Thank BOOPKIS I had my camera with me! While their for-money photographer was busy trying to tell them what to do, I came up from the other side and captured this amazing image. 


So, clearly, I was on cloud 9! I walked Boopkis at that same park every day for a week, trying to time his potty time with the Golden Hour, maximizing my chances of happening upon another couple to serve. Well, I found a couple, and they were gorgeous! My heart was racing, and just as I raised my trusty Reb to take The Shot, I heard their photographer shouting at me! The audacity! The unmitigated gall! Well, I mean, I'm here to use my gifts to serve others, but I know when I'm not wanted. I kept trying to get one decent frame, though - until Boopkis got scared and yanked his leash out of my hands and ran away. 

I looked up the photographer, his name was something like Colon...something, can't remember. Anyway, I found THIS on his webpage: an image of ME, walking away, in hot pursuit of Boopkis! So, I guess it's not a total loss. At least I got to participate in the creation of this amazing wedding photo - and that's what it's all about, really.
