Jill and Jake are getting married next month, and I have a feeling that their wedding is going to be both beautiful and loads of fun, just like them...

love! cassie & willy {zimmerman, minnesota engagement photography}
These two are getting married in July but opted for an autumn engagement shoot--it's always fun to change things up like that. Our session was the morning before our first snow, and it was coooold. By the end of the shoot my fingers were numb but it was well worth it!
Their wedding theme and colors are inspired by Americana, which fits perfectly--Cassie and Willy are relaxed, fun, and gosh, don't they just make you wanna snuggle up with a loved one under a handmade patchwork quilt?

my first wedding {the preparation}
Yes, today I am photographing my first wedding [insert anxious/nervous/excited bubbly shriek here]. Never was I expecting to do a wedding this soon -But, a cousin of my boyfriend's sister-in law (I know that sounds complicated. It's not), saw some engagement-style photos I did of said sister-in-law and her husband, and she really liked them and was wondering if I would photograph her wedding just two weeks away. Of course I would!
I'll be leaving the house in two hours and so far the weather is working wonderfully for this intimate outdoor event - 75 and mostly sunny. The wedding is at the couple's home, so I'm anxious to see the location, see where the light is coming from, the best locations to shoot.....usually I know the location where I'm going to shoot, so this is a day of newness in many ways, and I could be freaking out for a multitude of reasons, but I'm not. I just have to know that I need the following:
1. Coffee. Lot's of it (I need this all the time, actually).
2. Charged battery
3. Clear memory cards (I have 24 available GB, think that's enough? ha)
4. Creative Instinct (I have this. I need to trust it)
5. Confidence - Although I'm a total amateur when it comes to photographing weddings, and I could have severe anxiety about this, I'm not a total amateur with photography (I wouldn't call myself a top professional but I know how to make a good picture, and I teach myself more and more everyday); I'm not a total amateur when it comes to finding beautiful moments, beautiful light, and beautiful angles. And this is what I have to remember.
