Now that the rest of my equipment is here, I’m trying to get in some practice. Only 31 more days till the wedding. For this, I gathered up the stuff mementos I have laying around the house from my own wedding. My bouquet, the musical dancing wedding couple figurine that DH’s co-worker gave us, and my original wedding rings.
I did do some photoshopping. I used a lomo action to darken the edges, and a brush to add a better sparkle to the stone on the ring.
I’m getting a little more confident each day, yet I’m still so nervous about this, I just wish it was over. One thing helping my confidence level – I priced wedding photographers. Since I did so little planning for my own wedding, I had no idea how much photographers cost. I feel much more confident in my abilities and my being able to do this when I realized that by doing the photography for free, I’m in effect giving her a $1500.00 gift. Yea. At that savings, even if I miss a money shot, or don’t get every minute detail documented, I’ll still do a great job.
$1500.00. For a few hours of work. Damn. Maybe I should start a business…
I actually would seriously consider it if I could guarantee my younger two would be cared for while GeekBoy and I were working. But I don’t know any babysitters in the area. And if there is one thing I’ve learned about military life, it’s that I won’t be able to count on DH being here on a consistent basis. So… yea. My career in photography will have to wait.
Thanks for the offer! and the compliment… *S* Man… i haven’t scrapped since Dad died. I soo need to do something.
Well when the time is right, you will fill the void. And what I said was true, not flattery. Your good.
