Eddie's Wedding

Michelle's cousin, Eddie, is now married. This was the first wedding where I was asked as a back-up photographer. Excited, I ended up shooting close to 300+ pictures that day.

I was having a blast taking photos of the wedding procession, but I also realized the true challenges of an event photography and just how far I was from where I wanted to be...

Philip's Wedding

Michelle's cousin is finally getting married. Well, actually, "finally" isn't quite right. I don't exactly know, but they met and decided to marry rather quickly, I believe. Also, the wedding prep took something around half a year, which in marriage terms, is fairly quick. Not unusual, but quick.

We took care of the welcome/greeting/gift table, along with a gentleman from the bride's side. Yes, the cousin who's getting married is a guy. :-)

Though I was supposed to help with Michelle, there really wasn't a need for both of us to be there all the time, and so I took the liberty to walk into the sanctuary to take some pictures. Thank goodness for Jonathan's zoom lens... I realize that zoom lenses are very useful for special events, such as graduations and weddings, since it can be difficult for me to be up close where the action is.

The Groom, and his mom, greeting the incoming guests...

and the wedding party, also greeting the guests alongside the Groom...

The wedding party, and everyone, waiting for the bride to enter...

... and the moment all women rightfully fantasize about... their wedding entrance.

The flower-girl, and her partner (!). The flower-girl is Michelle's cousin's daughter, whose brother is the Groom.
And just like in our wedding, David and Tammy, back by popular demand! If you recall, I believe their "debut" was at our wedding! :-D

Family table!
The bride sits and waits, for her groom to do his thing... :-D

And the winners are ...
... (yes, those who were brave enough to jump in front of others, to catch the bouquet...)
