Sorry it took me so long to finally get these pictures up. Between both days of doing pictures for Missy's wedding, I took more than 650 pictures. It took me a while to pick which ones to use.
This has been such a wonderful experience for me. Since this is the first wedding that I have been paid to do, I was really nervous and didn't know exactly what to expect. I think the wedding pictures I take turn out great, but I have always just been an extra photographer, not THE photographer. I was worried about being able to pose everybody and I was scared that I would forget to do something that they would want later. Tasha didn't get all of the pictures that she wanted from her wedding, so I really didn't want Missy to experience the same thing.
Instead of having a guest book to sign, they got the pictures I took framed and had people sign the mates around the pictures. I thought that was an excellent idea. And I got to show off my pictures to everyone. :)
Especially since they blew up some of them to be really, really big. I don't know if you can tell from this picture, but they blew this picture up to be a 18x24!! It was so cool to see my pictures shown like that.
I took my job very seriosuly and made sure I got pictures with everybody that Missy wanted. Here she is with her bridesmaids.
Jesse with his Groomsmen.
And all of them together. Next came the family pictures. We did Missy's family first. The Bennett's:
I also got pictures of Missy with all of the little kids. They kept coming up to me through-out the night asking me to take their pictures. They were really cute.
Then I got all of Jesse's family. He has a really big family, so we split it up to each of his sibling's families and then put them all together in the end. The Hadley's:
Then I added the Bennett's back in so that they could have a picture of both of their families together.
After that, we had to do the cake. Missy's aunt made it, but that room was SO hot with all of us in there, that the cake started melting.
After the recption started, I stood across from their line so that she could have me take pictures of them with friends that came. When the line slowed down, I took more cute pictures of them together. They seem really happy to me, and I am so excited for them.
Next came throwing the bouqet.
And the garter. (Missy had to show him where it was.)
And some more group shots for good measure. :)
By then, the limo had arrived, so Missy changed into something else before they left for their two week honeymoon to Mexico. She also handed me an extra $50 for doing an excellent job. She said she would highly recommend me to anyone. She kept thanking me all night and told me that I saved her wedding. It was really sweet.

Congratulations Missy!! Thanks for taking a chance on me and letting me do your wedding photography. You make a beautiful bride!!

I really think you did a great job, Chelsee. I especially like the group pictures. I think they would be the hardest ones, with a lot of pressure to get everyone smiling, no closed eyes, etc. They seem well-balanced. You got some good ones of the bride and groom, too, which was the main thing. You have put your education to good use here, and I think it is the start of nice career.
The pictures look amazing!I am proud of you- they are beautiful and very professional. You always give your best to whatever you are involved in. The couple looks very happy. I loved looking at your work. I may already be married but you can do my twenty-fifth wedding aniversary (in about 23 and half years). I'm glad you were so good about getting all the shots you could think of and that Missy wanted.
You've done a great job, Kitty! I'm glad that you've found something that you love to do that you can also get paid to do! Keep up the good work!
These pictures are amazing, Chelsee! You did such a good job! I imagine it would be a lot of stress to take pictures like this and try to get everything they wanted, but you did an excellent job of getting posed and candid shots, and I love some of the goofy ones! I'm so proud of you!
Great pictures, Chelsee!
