LIttle Valley Gems...

Trent and I went for a drive around our part of the valley one day, just taking pictures of our scenery. The weather was not the best (it rained, sigh), and it was foggy too, but you can get some great shots with fog. We were gone about four hours, but we had fun.

Photos....from the weekend!

I may put on actual pictures of the wedding itself, but for now I am just putting on random shots from the day. Along with taking the "wedding" pictures for the day I made sure to just keep snapping to catch some shots like these. Hope you all like them. I will say that it is harder and a lot more work then a person thinks!!!! There is a lot more to it then just being able to take a pretty good picture! It was a 12 hour day, with no rest at all, and constant running to beat everyone to the locations.Some people compain about the pictures taking too long and everything from what direction and locations all need to be thought of. Misty and I were the only tired, sweaty looking people of the entire group. Forget eating and using the washroom for the day, you don't really get the chance! You have to have every pose in mind or on list because forgetting a picture is not an option when it comes to the person's memories of the day! I can see why taking that step into becoming a professional photographer is not for everyone..it can be very stressful and very consuming of time and energy!! It can take every weekend of your summer as well, with not only the wedding day, but the days before and after the wedding for preperation and finishing the project. A lesson you learn through doing it...but I surrived it! I personally love it and am looking forward to doing the next wedding in a couple of weeks!!!!!!

Anniversary weekend: Digby Pines

This is the Digby Pines resort and Golf Club. Trent and I have gone here for both of our anniversaries so far. It is a beautiful place...the golf course is great and the trails, ocean view and hotel is lovely. The rooms are a little lackluster but what can ya do?????


We start off all our trips with a massage to set the tone of relaxation. I have no pictures of the spa...sorry! I did post some on a previous post. Once we arrived at the Pines we took a walk in the trails. They have great grounds so I was snapping pictures like crazy (I love to snap away,always hav LOL. There are too many to show here, but maybe another time! The golf course was just as pretty so I got the clouds, the bridge and the flowers at the golf course.
LOL, here is proof that Trent and I were there!!!!! We had a great time tho it was short!

The weekend:

Well, the weekend was warm and sunny (tho not hot). It was apple blossom in the valley and there was a big parade and other events. Trent and I live here so it was no big deal to us...we mowed the lawn and cleaned the house. We had an invite to the parade, but we are already in the middle of "chores" so declined.LOL, "if you've seen it once..." We had plans that Trent had made with another couple for apple blossom but something must have been miscommunicated because there was some confusion, and in the end we ended up waiting and doing nothing. Next time I will confirm plans myself to be sure of what's happening.
I did play with my new camera, learning how it works and what can do with it.
