As some of you may or may not know, I decided to finally go full time as a wedding photographer this year (in Jan). I worked with my dad for the last 6 years, which was great, because it allowed me to start getting into wedding photography (ie: taking time off here and there for shoots, taking courses). It also kept a steady income as well!
I still pop my head in to his work for a few hours a week to help out with the paper work, but i've been spending the majority of my time trying to get the business going. I invested in a magazine article (ad) and also did a bridal show about a 1-1/2 months ago. So far I have 6 weddings booked for this year, with several more consults/potential ones this year, and one booking for next year, so things are going great.
Yesterday (well Saturday) I had my first engagement session of the year, and it went amazingly well. I was nervous at first (as I generally am) but the couple was so awesome to work with, and I think we got a bunch of keepers! I borrowed Cosworth's pocket wizards for a few of the shots, which worked SO amazingly well, but I think I might just hold out until the Radio Poppers come, instead of investing in the PW's.
Anyhoo, enough babbling, here's a few from the session, with more on my blog

My absolute FAVORITE shot of the session taken with my new 50L! 50L haters be warned, this lens ROCKS at all apertures! No focus issues for me!
