Praise the Lord! I was asked to do my second paid wedding in October and was so excited that another bride trusted me with her special day. The drive to Sylvania was about an hour but gave me plenty of time to think and prepare my heart before the day..Adam and I have talked several times about my prices and until I have been so thankful that my photography and my sewing have been such an amazingly fun and rewarding hobby for me. I absolutely love it and would do it for free, so its been nice to have a little extra income while doing something I love:)My heart with my hobbies is that Christ will use them to give me opportunities...to show His love to others through the way that I treat them, through trying hard to be the best I can at what I do, and through being fair with my prices and helping brides who have a smaller budget to have nice wedding photos. I am amazed at the fact that Michelle, Hannah, and now Kim have trusted me with their weddings and so amazed at how the Lord provides for our family when we could use the extra cash flow...He always knows our needs!


Usually the moment immediately after the ceremony is my favorite moment at a wedding....that moment at this wedding was just a little different. The bride and groom came out and the bride looked over at him and said, "honey, where is my engagement ring, you only put my wedding band on during the ceremony." uh oh! the groom then looked to his dad who searched his pockets for several minutes unable to produce the diamond and then a little search party went our in hopes of finding that ring (talk about getting nervous) and who wants to pose for pictures now? After several minutes the grooms father returned with the ring in hand and gave it over to the relieved bride :)Then we regrouped and took a few after ceremony shots....
