This coming weekend

The next couple weeks are going to be hectic for me, especially with preparing for my upcoming trip to Mexico for my friend's wedding. I still have to wash the new wardrobe I have purchased specifically for the trip and pack everything along with my husband's stuff as well. But what I am most excited for (besides the trip itself) is taking a travel photography seminar this Sunday and then applying the skilss I have learned when I am in Mexico.

I also look forward to not only being my friend's maid of honour but her part-time wedding photographer. Unfortunately, I won't be able to photography the ceremony but I plan on photographing the bride's preparations, some formals of the couple between the ceremony and reception, the reception itself and possibly a trash the dress session with a twist.

Stay tuned for those photos in a few weeks.

My Best Friends Wedding...Shower

When my best friend, Kristen, got engaged last Christmas, she and her fiancee Ryan asked me if I wanted to be the maid of honour or their photographer. My response, even though I think I could do both if I really tried, was to be her maid of honour.

Since then, they have decided to have a destination wedding this January in the Mayan Riviera (yay, and excuse to take a trip!) and I plan on bringing my photography gear with me. But before the wedding can even begin, there are certain preparations and events that need to take place. I have added some photos of one such event, Kristen's Surprise Wedding Shower that took place this past November.

She might kill me for posting these photos.
