I've always been behind the camera. A friend of mine could not afford all the BS they throw at your for her Senior so I spent 4 hours last Sunday taking pics of her daughter (who is graduating HS next weekend!) and they came out really well...complete with outfit changes, prom dress, candid shots on the river. I think giving the gift that captures the precious moments is a truly wonderful thing :-0Chaotic Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234401308763228709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-13446896393455065592009-05-21T14:23:03.862-05:002009-05-21T14:23:03.862-05:00I think with some practice I could be a pretty goo...I think with some practice I could be a pretty good wedding photographer. Oh, and some decent photography equipment.<br /><br />My cousin - four years ago - asked me to take the photos at her wedding. She wanted to save money, and I wanted to give her a gift, so I went ahead and did so. <br /><br />At the time, I was working at a local newspaper as a staff writer/photographer, so I was able to use my camera from work.<br /><br />By no means do I consider myself a pro, but I had a lot of fun taking the wedding photos. (http://family.webshots.com/album/393720032ovMdvR)<br /><br />I've been to two weddings now in which the bride and groom put disposable cameras on each table so that the guests could capture some photos of their own. This is a double-edged sword though, because sometimes the photos are not so great!b.k.roothttp://www.twitter.com/beekayrootnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-35787838708098707262009-05-21T11:08:23.405-05:002009-05-21T11:08:23.405-05:00Happy Anniversary.

The two of your look very happy. <br /><br />For all of you taking pictures of events - did you know that you an create a free website on Shutterfly for the pictures. Under "my account" it's called "shared sites" You can let all your friends upload the pictures and everyone can order whatever they want from it (pictures, books, etc.) My friend did it when her daughter was born and I have it for the boys' preschool classes. It's a good way to share all the photos with everyone and not overloading email accounts.Cristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970846308046408969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-61975959148490583482009-05-21T09:55:49.954-05:002009-05-21T09:55:49.954-05:00happy anniversary heather! ill keep this in mind a...happy anniversary heather! ill keep this in mind as many of my friends are starting to get married now! its so weird! i feel like we are still too young...and dont count on me getting married anytime soon!cassie pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-2026104271967356382009-05-21T09:18:30.170-05:002009-05-21T09:18:30.170-05:00Thanks for saying I was a beautiful bride Peggy an...Thanks for saying I was a beautiful bride Peggy and everyone for your well wishes. I think everyone has photography glitches at their wedding which is what makes this idea even nicer.<br />Cheryl I take photos at friends weddings too and agree they never even get to see them...there is something wrong with that. I think a 10 year anniversary book would be a GREAT idea. They'd probably love to reminisce and see pictures of their day from a different perspective.heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-72486964041291110172009-05-21T09:12:14.917-05:002009-05-21T09:12:14.917-05:00HA!

I got a wedding coordinator-a friend and refused to make anything, so we didn't have any favors or any of that stuff! The one area I wish I had spent more on though was the photographer. The funny thing was that he was sitting at the front and a family member told him it was for family only, so he went to the back of the church! So we don't have any close ups during the wedding!eknoxukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14391717533730031265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-6352097784780071452009-05-21T08:45:45.452-05:002009-05-21T08:45:45.452-05:00I've taken photos of my friends weddings and... ne...I've taken photos of my friends weddings and... never gave them to them.

Our saving grace was a family friend who took tons of candid pictures and really captured our beautiful day.

(My dad and I are the picture takers in our family, we were both kind of busy that day) So, I have no real emotion close up shots... we got a free 1 year anniversary shoot for our trouble.... ah memories!!
