Amanda and Michael

I worked hard this past week putting together an album of Amanda and Michael's wedding. The toughest part was choosing which pictures to leave out!!! Sure would love to know what you all think....

Wow, what a job to put together. I wouldn't even know where to begin!

Great pictures! I could never imagine having 9 bridesmaids! I think that's over-doing it... You're so talented with your photography Shelly.

Thanks everyone! Yeah... it was quite a wedding party - besides the 9 girls/guys, not to mention the bride/groom, there were 3 flower girls! LOL. The cool thing about the wedding - there was a salvation message and someone accepted Christ as a result! :)

Admittedly I had a tough, tough time getting the pictures together initially and I was in tears many times over them. BUT I recently watched a video on wedding photography that made it much more doable and fun too!!! I really enjoyed putting this album together and it only took me 4 days and I started 'from scratch' - meaning I used no pre-edited photos but started with the raw file. So.... I can have a pre-designed online album for the bride within a week!!!! And then another two weeks or so to put up the online proofs... I'm actually going to start 'advertising' for weddings with the hopes of really starting up in April. I never, ever thought I'd want to do weddings... But now I'm excited about doing them. :)

dang girl! you can do ours! well i mean our ten year renewl vows anyway.
I love the shots of the little girls reflection in the mirrors, you really caught the look they had when they saw themselves dressed up.
It looks like alot of work but your shots really captured the personalitys of the people, they were haveing a good time.

I almost missed your comment. Thanks! It is a lot of work and actually many tears were shed over it originally. But I've since learned a bit about wedding photography that makes me think I can do it AND enjoy it AND make some money at it. :)

I'd love to do your renewal! When is it???? If you are really serious, email me and I'll fill you in on what I do and prices and what-not.
