Let me just say, I was quite happy to put our hand up for this golden oppurtunity...
Firstly because she is an excellent photographer...
Secondly, because we love a very similar style of photography so I trusted her to take photos I knew I would fall in love with....
And finally because as a couple we never get photos like this?
Seriously? Who in a committed loving relationship with 5 kids, one shift work occupation, one burgeoning photography business and numerous other distractions would ever be bothered to do it?
Plus - you feel like a tosser prancing around in front of a camera - when your not getting married - or you are married with wrinkles!!! LOL.. So, the mere fact that I was helping her out made it that little bit easier. Still felt like a try-hard.. wanna-be...bride..But ah well..The proof is here..I still very much love my husband - AND shit we're definitely getting old!!!
I am also going to frame some or get some on canvasses..I don't care if I look up myself.. Rod and I never got around to getting our wedding photographs framed..And somehow I feel like these photos are a real reflection of us living...You know? The wedding day is beautiful..But you are just embarking on life together? There is anticipation and expectation in the photos of your wedding day...
These images show me that we are toughing it out after almost 20 year together.. We are still affectionate and loving...Hehehe.. He still thinks I'm hot...Even though it was freezing and ALL 8 of our kids were 'running riot' INSIDE both of our cars while we were madly capturing the LUUUUURVE.....See? REAL...
Thanks Cindy....I appreciate it..I love them and I can't wait to see the wedding images on your blog...
Hmmm..On a side note..I do seem to be spending more time in front of the lens this year??
I like myself..I do.. I feel youthful..Energetic...Happy...
And apart from some dumb looks in front of camera and much blinking when the photo is snapped ( der)..I am happy to be captured... I am also featured in some fitness photos..here...and I will share these later too..
Enough of me and US for now though..
I'm getting a bit over myself...
LOL

ReplyDeleteCeleste - these are stunning! What an opportunity to get such great photos taken. How often do we..er..older couples do this? I wonder if I can convince my hubby....
