Nick & Catherine's Wedding
On August 13th I had the pleasure of capturing another great couple joining their families together.
I just love weddings! I was shocked when 2 couples asked me to do their weddings this summer. I kept telling myself, "I'm no photographer, what do I think I'm doing?" I remember reading a quote a bit less than a year ago that really stuck with me;
To do anything in this world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in, and scramble through as well as we can. -Sydney Smith
So that is what I did. I was scared. Very scared. I thought surely I'd mess up the moments that were passing right before my eyes. Moments that I couldn't ask one to redo should I not get the shot. But guess what? I didn't mess it up! In fact, they were both pleased with their pictures. I'm so glad I didn't ruin it. I learned a lot and found that in fact I do pretty well under pressure. I'm no expert and have a million and one things left to learn, but the first step needs to be taken. Rare is it that someone can be a pro at something upon first trying it. Anyway, here are a few of my favorites from Nick and Catherine's big day.

Our Twenty-Second Week: In Pictures
Yes, I know this post is long overdue! I've been so busy it's not even funny.

Rock & Roll Time
On Tuesday Ryan had a meeting for work in Kalispell, so Boston and I rode along and met up with my mom, sister, brother and niece. We spent the whole day visiting second hand stores! I found a lot of cute little outfits and a few toys for Boston. My best find was this foot stool to go with the rocker I refinished for Boston's room. It was a total steal at $3.75! I thought I would just leave it pink, he won't care. KIDDING! I'm going to order a solid color (we have enough prints going on in the room already) to recover it with. I could just order more of the fabric I used for the rocker cushions, but you all know how I feel about matchy-matchy in my home. I'll probably do a solid orange to compliment.
And for reference, his chair:
Side Note: I realize I STILL haven't uploaded the "after" pictures yet. I've been slacking on the shelves. I hope to get the room finished soon and get the pictures posted. I'm so proud of how it's turned out so far!
