So, I normally do NOT shoot weddings and I've had several people ask me if I do and I always tell them no and refer them to someone else who does. But, when my cousin Jamie called me a couple months ago to tell me that she was getting married on 9/9/2009 and she wanted me to take their pictures, I couldn't say no.
I left and took a 2 day trip up to Las Vegas and St George for the wedding. I missed my kids and husband more than I could have ever imagined, but I had a blast. Jamie & Russell were sealed early in the afternoon that day and then a luncheon was held in their honor. Halfway through the luncheon I noticed that a big storm was headed our way and it started to get a little windy outside. I prayed numerous times that we wouldn't get rained out and ruin our plans for pictures that day. My prayers were definitely answered because in the 4 hours or so that we were taking pictures, not a drop of water fell. It was great because the clouds and sky definitely made for some awesome pictures.
I have so, so, so many more pictures to share and edit over the next few weeks. So stay tuned for more.




And a
really random (and sad) story to share about this horse we saw on the side of the road-maybe I'll share it later when I have more time to write details. I'm just glad no one was hurt too badly.
Thank you Jamie and Russell for letting me capture your day and a special thanks to my awesome assistant Trisha! ;)
