Zack + Cady | Southern Illinois Wedding Photographer (September 2012)

Aww they're the ones who started it all…  My lovely sister-in-law gave me the honor of asking her cousin and me to photograph their special day.  I'll be honest - I was both nervous and excited at the same time.  Afterall, this was my very first wedding (plus it was for family so no pressure right!?)!  I had planned to get into photography the spring of my senior year of  college.  However, I officially started my business a little sooner than anticipated – I bought my Canon  camera in the early fall of 2012 and started working with it to get ready for their upcoming wedding.  I took lots (and I mean LOTS) of pictures trying to figure out all my settings, lighting and all that other good stuff that makes a photo so great.  Plus I was so excited, and when I get excited, I'm kinda like a little kid - I was saving photo ideas  (thank God for Pinterest!) and making lists of shots to take as soon as she asked me to photograph her wedding!  Cady’s wedding was one of very first things I photographed with my “fancy camera” so I was still learning all the settings and techniques at this point.  However, it was a great experience!  It was a beautiful day for a sweet couple!  I loved taking pictures for them, and I was happy to be a part of their special day.  I love these two!! :)
