So, I put together a cute package, came up with a price and pulled out my portfolio of sample picts I had bound in a little book. After the interview I came home and spent a lot of time in the bathroom (if you know what I mean). The very next day, I got an email asking me if I would send over a contract for them to sign because they LOVED meeting me and very much appreciated my honesty from the get go. That's when it all started-the nerves hit me like a ton of bricks-you'd think I had been called to shoot for NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC or something. However, that is how serious I take my hobby-especially when I am being paid a lot of money and for something that people are investing in....you can't reshoot weddings....it's a one time gig! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Sorry-that was my nerves again.
Anywhoo-my cute Poobee has been secretly jealous of this little photography hobby of mine for sometime now and automatically hired himself as "2nd shooter" for this new job I received & interviewed for! :) He has been researching Photoshop elements & filters, etc online, & keeps on pestering me about being able to fiddle with the 35mm lens (that is because I am over-protective with my camera, and never let anyone touch it-sad huh?)
I relented and told him he could be my second shooter (assistant if you will-but made it clear that I was the "mastermind" behind this plan) :) I was going to purchase a 2nd hand D40 for him for the event, but then thought-I'll see what kind of photographs he produces first and THEN I'll invest in some equipment of his own if he decides its something he likes. (Heaven knows I have been BEGGING him to get a hobby since the day we got married-and NO Mike, "watching sports on T.V." does NOT count as a hobby! lol)
The wedding was in Quincy-which is a town about an hour from here-and we were going to be gone ALL DAY. So Mike's parents came over from Bremerton and stayed in Ellensburg with the kids. It was kind of fun to attend a wedding from a totally different angle than I ever thought I would! Here are some samples of what "our team" captured:
All that wedding business made Mike & I appreciate our own, which was almost 7 years ago, and we decided to splurge on & treat ourselves to a night in an awesome room, at a beautiful hotel called CAVE B located on the Columbia Gorge (also located in Quincy). This place is nothing short of A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! It was nice to have a relaxing night without being sat on by the puppies or being woken up at the crack of dawn to kids smashed in-between us. Pure Bliss! Thank heaven for wonderful inlaws. Couldn't have done it without them-and the kids had a TOTAL blast with us gone :)
The Cliffhouse we stayed in...
The view from our house...
The resident puppy-SO CUTE :) We felt right at home the moment we walked in :)
If you look REEEEEALLLLY close-there is a bunny rabbit on our front porch!
While we were in Quincy-we stopped at this hole in the wall place & picked up a treat for the kids....they got a kick out of it as you can plainly see.
