Jackie and Kevin May 30, 2009

I know it's been soooooo long since i've been keeping up with my blog....kids, housework, friends, work, and farming have been keeping me from typing my thoughts and showing my photography on my blog. I kinda made a promise to myself to blog atleast twice a week now which will be no problem....I hope.....the busy photography season is fast approaching and I'm super excited to start shooting again. I had the priviledge to photograph a wedding this past weekend. Jackie and Kevin....sooo adorable. I remember Jackie....aka Rosie....when she was just a tiny little thing. Her and her 4 other older sisters (with long braided hair) along with big sis Jeannie, would sometimes come camping with my family and boy would we get into mischief together.....Oh the good old days. Jackie is from a HUGE family of 12 siblings. I did the Benjamins family pictures last fall and then they asked me to do Jackies wedding. Of course I had to say yes. It was so great to be part of this fun day and watch you Jackie and your silly sisters goofing around. There were some awesome moments to capture and also some very tender moments that gave me tears. I'm a sucker for tender moments.....I love capturing the emotions during a wedding day. Here's just a sneak peak for you Jackie and Kevin and ALLLLL you Benjamins girls.


Everyone needs to have a mama like Jackie's mom. She is so gracious, patient, and so sweet....and she raised 10 girls. TEN!!!! She makes everyone feel welcome and part of the family. Last fall when I did family pictures for them, she had a house full with all her 12 children who were either married or engaged or dating, and about 30 grandchildren running around...and you could just see her glow. You could really see that she Loves having her family around her.

Jackie and Kevin had a bagpiper (pipest??) during the ceremony. He played while Jackie walked down the aisle, and he played "amazing grace" during the signing of the register, and also walked them out when the ceremony was over. It was so beautiful and sooo unique.

After pictures in the park, the wedding party decided to do a few rounds at the local Boston pizza, and they asked me to tag along. This was probably the funnest part of the day. Got some fun shots of the group, especially of the girls goofing around. Here's just a couple (more civilized shots) :)
