New Camera | Nikon D700

After a LONG time saving up I upgraded my D80 to a D700!! I will definitely keep my two D80 cameras as back ups, but I’m super excited about this new beauty. It came witha manual that’s just about as thick as a phone book, so it might be a while before I’m totally sure of all the buttons, but it’s going to be fun learning!

Watch out Fargo, here I come!

It’s so pretty. *sigh*

5.1.2010 | R+T

Wow, my first wedding of the season. The first one is always full of extra excitement, a touch of fear, and a whole lot of pent up energy on my part.

Unfortunately the weather wasn’t very cooperative. It was WINDY, cold, and drizzled a bit too. But R+T were both willing to brave the elements long enough to get some amazing shots!

The dress was gorgeous! This stained glass window had special meaning for the bride, as it was dedicated to her grandfather. I just love being able to catch special meanings that are hidden in the images!

 

Super close up shots of the rings are really challenging to focus, but so fun when they turn out!

Hairspray, look out!

 

I LOVE the image below, so much fun!

The JOY of this pair at finally being together… so beautiful. Plus the wind in the veil is stunning. *sigh*

We headed out to a grungy old hardware store, which had this really interesting corner. Grass + grungy walls. It really made the beauty of the bride stand out!

This one may be familiar to those who have seen my website. I just love it! I think I’m going to have to take one of every bride this year and do a collage.

 

Across the street from the church was great-grandma’s abandoned house, which just happend to be painted in the wedding colors. So despite the drizzle we just HAD to take some photos there!

 

Isn’t that just beautiful!

Now I can’t wait for the next wedding … May 28th, here I come.

‘mini’ engagement shoot

I met R +T  two days before the wedding for coffee  in downtown Fargo. We hadn’t  had a chance to meet before so I suggested we snap a few photos (of course).

 I really enjoy the engagement sessions because not only do I get to know the couple personally, but it helps us to be comfortable with each other the day of the wedding! I get to know how the couple responds in front of the lens, and they get to know how I work behind it! Being comfortable and knowing what to expect is a  HUGE help on an already nerve-wracking-emotional day.

For only having a few minutes together I thought the images were pretty great (hey I can brag on my own blog right?)! 

Keep tuned: Wedding photos coming soon…
