Third Time’s The Charm

Image April 9, 2013PeepSideshow DarkwardLeave a comment

I met Marnie and Bret not long after they got together in 2011. Marnie is bright and outspoken; Bret is a country boy who speaks only when he has something important to say. Or to “grrr” or “mhm”. I have always loved them as a couple – the perfect counterpoint to one another.

But, as many relationships go, they broke up. And got back together again. And broke up. And got back together again.

This time, however, they’ve sealed their commitment. In fact, when Bret asked Marnie to marry him, he wanted to do it in a week. Maybe he’s just impatient, or maybe he finally realised he’d found the woman he was destined to spend his life with and wanted to make sure they created their happiness right away.

With a country-themed wedding, blended with elegance and style, it suited them perfectly. I’m not going to say anything else – I’m just going to let the pictures speak for themselves. You can click the photos to see larger images.

He loves her more than Dr Pepper and pizza and she loves him more than shoe shopping and vanilla cake. What better foundation on which to build a life together?

My Life Is A Movie Soundtrack Meme – Shazam Doesn’t Work When I Hum

Anybody who knows me has to laugh that I’m even attempting this blog challenge. I LOVE music…but I can never remember the titles or artists of songs. In fact, to get one of the songs for this post, I had to ask one of my friends, “What’s that song that we like?” Fortunately, she knew exactly what I meant and not only told me, but sent me a youtube link within seconds 😀 And sadly, I sing so badly that even Shazam can’t even recognise when I hum a few bars!

The idea behind this meme is to present your life as a movie soundtrack, using the prompts given. This was the brain-child of Sylvia Oliver. You can see her post and check others who have done the challenge in the comments section by clicking this link. However, I must give credit to my sister, Tu, who did this first. Her post is here.

When I thought of my life as a movie soundtrack, I had to decide who to play me. Who else, but the incomparable Audrey Hepburn. I know I don’t do her justice, but I tried to at least be a little Breakfast at Tiffany’s 🙂

Myst

I had an opportunity to do client photos for Myst. She comes to the club where I work frequently, and she wanted photos for her profile, her picks section and also to display at home. She requested photos that were romantic and soft, but she also wanted photos that showed her biker girl side. I found both of these styles fun to work with.

Myst’s boyfriend came with her to the shoot. I love when my clients bring someone with them. I don’t talk much while I’m shooting, so having someone there helps us both to relax – the client, so she doesn’t get bored and me, so I’m not worrying about talking while I’m working. I kind of zone in on what I’m doing, so I’m not much company 😉

While I was doing Myst’s shots, she asked if I could do one of her and her boyfriend together. I was happy to comply.
