So those who know me know I usually don’t shoot weddings. Why? it’s just too much responsibility for one. You miss that shot…well, you MISSED THAT SHOT. Not much opportunity to ask, “hey, crap…can you kiss her again?!” But that’s only part of it. I honestly don’t really consider myself a “photographer” in the sense of how most define that title. Sure, I take pictures and I’ll boast that I can take them quite well…usually. But to me, that title belongs to someone who does it for there profession. Who relies on this as work for pay no matter the circumstances. Often photographing content they “have” to photograph for work. Content that usually doesn’t have much input by the one shooting it. Not totally at least. But what defines a “professional” and a “hobbyist” is for another blog…which is coming up next actually.
…and back to the wedding stuff… My sister Lydia was married on December 20th, 2009 to a fine man – Burnie Danjean…aka Big Burn. Their budget was low because my sister is a cheap bitch, JUST KIDDING!! Actually it was both their 2nd time around and like most 2nd rounders… a big wedding isn’t a must. So at her request, I somewhat reluctantly obliged to document this special occasion.
Here are a few…

Mike - Family photo is the shiznit! LOL!
Dave - Awesome. The comments on the photos were hilarious! Nice job on the photos too!
Dick - Very nice shots man! The good news is you could definitely be a wedding photog…if it wasn’t the worst job in the world! Amazing DOF at such a fast paced event too!
Btw, do you have to get your shirts custom made for the arms? Like do they just sew pant legs onto a sleeveless muscle shirt for you?
Zig- the big sis - Oh silly brother….you could have got good money for these shots…if it wasn’t your sis. You need a photo agent …haha…furnaggle some deals.
