i did an engagement shoot with leslie wallace, and then last weekend, we shot the couple's wedding. tomorrow morning i have another wedding that i'm shadowing. woo! so busy lately!

leslie taught me so much and inspired me just as much. in fact, she got me thinking and i marched over to jdead and deanna to suggest we do an engagement shoot. they loved the idea!

i can't imagine that any wedding should be done without one. i think it will help me significantly at their wedding to have a feel for the way they are in front of the camera. plus, it was awesome to get to know deanna better; i know jdead so well since we are in the same department. we really bopped about just had fun!

they were so willing to do anything i suggested and had some great spontaneous ideas. deanna suggested posing with a statue that, i think, created one of the absolute best shots. they're such a lovely couple and they are always laughing!

the best part was that they were so pleased with the results of the shoot! now, i'm getting really excited to shoot their wedding!
