Over the weekend, I met up with Kiely and we shot a wedding together. I went as a backup/assistant to her and we actually ended up doing two shoots. One maternity, one wedding. She had a newborn session earlier in the day too, before I even got there. Between the two of us, we shot thousands of pictures. I can't find heavy enough adjectives that describe the fun I personally had being introduced to this kind of photography. The wedding was a gi-huge-ous learning experience. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I was in the right place. Doing the right thing. I especially knew this when Ants Marching by DMB came over the DJ's speakers during the reception. Can't say I remember hearing that song at a wedding before. But I loved it!
I walked away with so much information and some great shots. I'm still trying to file the experience in my brain, detail by detail, page by page, and photo by photo. It'll fit in my intellectual file cabinet somewhere. I'll find room. I'll make room. I'll build a room for it. Wait, no...a house for it. No, a castle. A really big one. With a moat. You get the idea.
Special thanks first and foremost to Kiely for inviting me. Thank you also goes out to Megan and Patrick for inviting us into their beautiful home and letting us torture them with our cameras. And a big congratulations to Nicole and Scott! You guys were swimming in awesome.
More to come.

It is so awesome that you have such great talent. It is just a little bit much though...drawing, playing guitar, writing songs and now this! Let some one else have some already :) Keep it up, this is great stuff.
Yep, he gets it from the Rose side for sure! :-)
I'm just a determined learner. :) I get it from both sides of the family.
