Well I did something I never thought I would do.....shoot a wedding! I was very hesitant but since they were such good friends of ours I thought I would give it a go. I was super nervous, I didn't want to mess anything up of course and since it was my first one I had no idea how much I hadn't thought about until I had a little chat with a fellow friend and photographer. So, I asked her to help me with the wedding and it was definitely a good decision. I couldn't have done it without her....thanks again
Shawna Peto Photography. Throughout the day I kept telling my husband "I will never do this again" but by the end of the night I finally figured out that it wasn't that bad and I "might" consider doing it again. The key word is "might" There is ALOT I need to work on if I do decide to do another....flash & indoor lighting to name a few. Different lighting situations around every corner was definitely a challenge but overall I think the pictures turned out well. I will probably be doing some editing for a while yet but I am really enjoying going through them.
I have known Tim and Staci for a while now. Tim pretty much my whole life and Staci for about 10 years now I think. It is funny how things come about. Some things overnight others seem to take a lifetime. What we need to remember is Gods timing is perfect...and we have to remember that He is the one in control not us. We all definitely waited a long time for this wedding and it was well worth the wait. Tim & Staci had a beautiful Christ centered wedding. I think so many of us don't even consider that we are vowing before GOD to Love, Honor and Cherish each other FOREVER. It is not easy, I struggle every day to keep God in the equation of every little thing. One thing that makes it easier for me is to just look around and realize everyday that He is the reason for my existence, everything that happens to me He is in control of and has a purpose for. Yep, that is hard sometimes especially when the tough times come, but through it all even when we don't get it and are questioning everything, I take comfort in the fact that it is all for His glory and that alone is enough.
Congratulations Tim and Staci.....we all are sooooooo extremely happy for guys and can't wait to see what God has in store for you. It was a joy to be part of your special day!
