A Backyard Wedding








This past weekend, I got to attend the lovely wedding of Lachelle... my babysitter! What are the rules with this... can I still ask her to watch my little one even though she's a Mrs.? Not sure. They didn't have a photographer and since I know NOTHING about photography and DO NOT yet have a nice camera, and am ready to birth a baby at any moment, I decided to offer up my services. :) Just wanted to make sure they had someone, even someone who didn't know what they were doing, snapping photos all night. And maybe I wanted an excuse to borrow a friend's Nikon and try it out. Thank you so much Cort and Shalaine, I'm not really sure it's appropriate to ask to borrow someones brand new $700 toy. Hope you're still up for friendship and scrabble tournaments. I'm even more convinced I need the camera. And at least two lenses. So this is just an excuse to look at a few of the pictures. Chanel, thanks for helping... especially on the squatting shots... (like the cake) I lost those muscles a while back.

Lillie those pictures are amazing. You sure look like you know what you are doing. So, no more pretending that you don't. I want to see more...

Lacy said...

What a beautiful bride! How fun!

Maggie said...

holy cow! those are GORGEOUS pictures! so, um, i was wanting to take some family pictures next month..... ;)

Sarie said...

These are beautiful, great job Lillie. Someone should have taken a photo of you, trying to squat, a 9 month pregnant photographer. That would have been swell.

Kym said...

Lillie, they look amazing! Where were you on my wedding?! :)

Well done. You win "the most productive in your last two weeks of pregnancy" award. The action shots looked perfectly posed. I thought that everything looked beautiful and you captured that.

Kodi said...

Wow! That can't be just the camera. . . those look so good! Way to go. I am SURE they are so excited about those.

Lillie, You are a good amatuer photographer. I am so excited for you to have two girls. You can also say "me my girls are best of friends".

Lindsay Griffeth said...

You are a natural! Those are great photos, Lillie. You definitely need the camera!

Audry said...

Hey those are great, just think what you can do when you have your own.

S.A.S. said...

It's offical: you need the camera. Lil, you're amazing! Those pictures are lovely, and you are a sweetheart to give them a lifelong lasting gift like this. And I concur that it would have been fantastic to see your beautiful self balancing to get just the right shot - a week before you give birth! Who are you?

Unknown said...

These are outstanding. And I'm with Sarie- I want photos of the photog. And yes, total proof that you need the camera. So glad we're sure on THAT one. If only we had proof on the jogger. 50/50 though--you buy one you're sure about, one you're pretty sure about. Do it!

As a married person with no children I would still babysit! I offer up my services anytime. We love practicing and pretending we're more of a family when we babysit other peoples kids.
