Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
This wedding is just a little different than others on my blog. Mainly because one of the bridesmaids may see uber familiar – it’s me! One of my oldest/closest friends, Kim married her Ryan last year and I got to play double duty as photographer and bridesmaid. Well, I shot the portraits during the cocktail hour (in wedges and a long bridesmaid dress – mind you). Mandi took care of the rest of the day for me! I’m not gonna lie, it was probably the hottest day ever in the history of hot days. And because so many people (men) ask, yes Ryan wore a baseball cap at his wedding. And no, fellas, your bride probably will not let you wear one. Kim is just that rad. But you have to be rad to be my friend, right?!
And just for fun, here is an iPhone photo Mandi grabbed of me shooting that day!
I luuuurve these photos! How fun (but I’m sure difficult!) to do double duty! The pink crinoline is super adorable!
