Welch-Dickey Mountain

Nat and I hiked on Monday Welch-Dickey moutain... what a beautiful day to be outside... I brought my camera and took a few shots... the blues of the sky and the green of the trees was perfect for picture taking...

Good thing no ones afraid of heights, huh?

Natalie's tattoo

So my friend Natalie has been in the process of finishing her tattoo for a little over a year and she just got it finished earlier this month... I've been lucky enough to take pictures of the whole thing, which has been in three installments. It's cool, too, I don't know if you'll notice the different but the pictures from the first time are used with a Canon camera instead of the Nikon I got this year.

I was trying to get a bunch of different angles and I tried every idea I could think of during the whole time I was there. Here are some of the ones I think show the whole picture pretty well...

Props to Mike who gave her all the tattoos.. the guy was really cool and let me get my camera up all in there... and plus he did a really great job on all the work he did on Nat..

this is Mike who drew all of Nat's tattoos by hand...

Myke and Mary came for the third time...

and the final product...

Osi & Lee

About ten days ago Dave, Jarrod and I shot our third wedding... Osi and Lee met on myspace! I thought that was pretty interesting...

Dave and I met up with Osi while Jarrod shot Lee getting ready...

Her dress and shoes were crazy.. so were the flowers. The wedding colors were red and black, and there were tattoos everywhere. It was cool to photograph a wedding that was so modern...

Here are some pics we got from it..

once they got dancing, it got to be easier to shoot ..

Catherine and Zach

On June 27th Zach and Catherine got married in Derry, NH and had their reception in Candia, NH. Dave and I met up with Catherine at 9am in her hotel, and to our surprise she was completely done up already, dress and makeup totally on... we worked with what we had though and ended up getting some pretty cool shots of them before they left. 

It was another really quick day of shooting, always on our feet. The guests at the reception ended up being hilarious - once everyone was dancing people were having a great time. 

I felt a lot more comfortable at this wedding compared to the Kimberly and Luke's - we've got another wedding next Saturday, I hope that one turns out even better. It's going to be way up north, so Jarrod and I are planning on camping Saturday night to go hiking on Sunday!

I got this picture of them walking in and liked the tracking effect...

Kimberly and Luke

On June 20th, Kimberly and Luke got married and Jarrod and I got to shoot their wedding with Dave, one of Jarrod's friends. They were such a beautiful couple, it was impossible to take a bad shot of them. Jarrod and I got to spend time with the groomsmen while they were getting ready and they were a riot... they actually ordered a school bus to transport them from the hotel to the ceremony... it was great... The couple was so happy to be together, I couldn't stop smiling...

Here are some shots of the ceremony...

Weddings have a great energy that I don't think I could ever be sick of... everyone's so happy for those getting married and just looking to have one of the best parties of their lives... the atmosphere is great!

The whole wedding was a blast... and I can't wait to do more of these... I think this is something I am really interested in and could possibly do... I never want to give up photography just because it can't pay my bills, I've got to find a way to incorporate it into my career..
