January is the time of year that I am able to go back to everything which has been derailed by the oh-so-crazy holiday rush that happens to me between October and December. Which means this month I get to do a ton of blogging. Which makes me happy, until I have to choose my favorites to blog and then I am sitting at my desk for hours trying to figure out how not to make it a blog post with 100 images in it. Which was especially tough when it came to blogging this wedding. I mean, seriously, not only are they too cute for words, they just knew how to let go and have fun on their big day and I think it shows in the images.  I loved shooting their wedding and getting to know them better.  I will never forget it.

OH… and before I forget…. a few more of their wedding images can be found on my new FACEBOOK PAGE. This page will now be updated with sneak peeks and other business information, so click “LIKE” on the page to see those images and specials on your facebook news feed. I promise to make it worth your while.

There are so many great images that come out of these 20 minute mini-sessions.  I can’t wait to post a few sessions to showcase  just how many great images you can get in just 20 minutes time.

Until then, here’s one frame that I love.

I had such a hard time deciding what to blog. So… before I overthink this, too… I’ll leave you with a few of many images from this wedding that I love.

There was a moment at Traci and Justin’s wedding where my eyes watered and I hid behind my camera to ensure I wasn’t seen.  It didn’t happen at the father/daughter dance or the vows or during the toast.  No, it happened in the last hour of the night when everyone was happy and dancing and having a good time.  You see…  Traci and Justin’s wedding was gorgeous all the way around.  The day…the colors…the clouds…the couple…  it was all beautiful.  But when I woke up that morning, I wasn’t sure if I’d even make it through the first few hours.

The morning of their wedding, I woke up and took myself to the doctor and was diagnosed with bronchitis, tonsillitis, and a sinus infection. I felt horrible like I’ve never felt before.  I was given an injection with medication and prayed for strength and clarity as I braced myself for a 16 hour day.  There was no way I was going to miss the wedding, but I did fear I couldn’t  function the way I needed to. That’s when, at the end of the night, it hit me that I had made it.  God had been faithful and allowed me the opportunity to witness and photograph such joy and happiness.

And in that moment, I may have still had a fever, but I seriously felt like a million bucks.
