Steven and Ashley {Wedding}

This is my cousin's wedding that I attended back in June.

I was all excited to just take some pictures as a guest, until I arrive

at the wedding. Turn on my camera. And it doesn't turn on. 

Yep, no battery. It was happily plugged into the wall.

I, on the other hand, about had a melt-down.

Okay, not really. But I was pretty disappointed.

One of my sweet cousins (yes, I know I have waayyy too 

many cousins) ;) heard about it, and she gave me 

her camera to use for the day. Thank you so much!

So I attached my Lensbaby and shot away.

There's more to the story:

I didn't have a way to get the pictures from her camera

that day, so we arranged to get them during our national

camp meeting. So, they just got dumped on my computer at

the most busy time, and I really had no intentions of even editing them

or doing anything with them. (horrible, right!?)

But...

I made another purchase. (If I don't slow down on making purchases,

I'll probably go loopy from all the excitement of all these new things! Ahhh!)

I got Pure Presets Set 2 from Pure Actions for Photographers.

And...

I needed something to test them on, of course.

So...

My lovely sister :) 

And now my "lovelies" ;)

Yes, and the people who keep me good company...

...and remind me to stay fashionable. ;)

Ashley's grandpa is such a loving man and so grandfatherly!

...warms my heart to see this cute little girl with her daddy.

I snuck this of them while they went off to sit in the shade during

the ceremony. 

This makes me miss the bright colors of summer. 

Why are people already wearing darker colors?!

And they had a delicious reception! ;)

My cousin and me :)
