i say "why not?"
a few years back, when photography took hold of me and wasn't about to let me go, i probably would never have dreamed that wedding photography would be the place i would end up.
i was one of those people, that thought wedding photographers were right up there with wedding singers (in the placement of all things wedding of course), and the thought of jumping into professional photography was not on the forefront of my mind.
now, if National Geographic would have come knocking on my door and asked me to travel the world and shoot nothing but underwater photography, then i would have been THERE!!!!
unfortunately, Windsor Ontario isn't known for it's lush , underwater reefs or beautiful, pristine wrecks, so underwater photography isn't really something that us Windsor-ites get into very often.
i do have to say, that scuba diving in the Detroit RIver was an experience that neither Darryl or I will soon forget. We could only see about 2 feet in front of us, as we dragged ourselves upstream with screwdrivers! LOL!
you couldn't swim against the current, and it was strong, so strong in fact, that Darryl and I had to be tethered together with a big rope so as not to lose each other!
thankfully, we didn't find any drugs or dead bodies, but it would have been cool to find a gun or something.
i digress.....
fish are awesome, no doubt there, but people are more awesome!
i love weddings, not a doubt in my mind.
i wake up every day, so very thankful that i am doing what i'm doing.
i lose sleep every night, thinking of all the things i need to do, ideas that i have , and dreams that i can't wait to implement.
every time i meet a new couple, or get an email from a bride, i get all giddy and excited!
NEW PEOPLE TO MEET, ANOTHER AWESOME WEDDING TO DOCUMENT!!!
YAY!!
yep, that's the sound of my inside voice as it yells loudly inside my head.
i even say "YAY!" inside my head!
i know, i need some help.
do you ever have that feeling that something awesome is about to happen, but you don't have a clue what it might be?
i have had that feeling all week, and i can't shake it!
it's like the feeling that you have on Christmas eve, when you are all giddy, excited, and nervous about what's going to happen tomorrow! you know that you're going to get presents, but you just don't know what they might be.
it's a great feeling and a horrible feeling, all at the same time.
ya know what i'm sayin'?
well, this crazy feeling has been plaguing me all week!
please make it stop.
thank you.
i am just in the process of putting some photos together for my gallery on EverythingWedding.ca which is, (if you've read my post from last week) a resource and website for brides in Windsor Ontario and Essex County, to get info on everything and everything wedding! of course this meant that i would have to go through all my weddings from 2009 and pick my 10 faves. did you know that picking favourite photos is NOT an easy job to do?
anyways, i found this photo of a flower girl and ring bearer, and i couldn't NOT put it up!
this was from a wedding that i 2nd shot for John Lyons, here in Kingsville, and this girl made me smile all day. she was a total angel and sweet to boot!
anyways, i love the 'serious' look that she's giving me, just before she walked down the aisle.
priceless.
