Little kids are so darn cute!

Aren't kids just the cutest?? Maybe I am biased about these particular kids, as they are all relatives of mine, but I think these are the cutest kids in the whole world! I was at my cousins wedding last weekend and I got some pretty cute shots of all my new little cousins and my nephew playing at the wedding.

The little boy with the disposable camera is my nephew Xavier. When he grows up he wants to be just like his Uncle Nathan... J/K. But he was so cute with his little camera. During the ceremony I was in the aisle shooting the ring exchange and he got out of his seat and ran over next to me to see what I was doing. I love this little boy! The only problem is, Xavier has more of an interest in Marisa than he does in me:( Whenever he sees me the first thing out of his little mouth is "Where's Marisa?" Drives me crazy, but she loves it!

I got to be in a couple pics with my cousins... these guys are kinda like the big brothers I never had. I wish I got to see these guys more often.

Kris & Nate

Last weekend I went out to Indianapolis to shoot my cousin Kris' wedding. Weddings in my family are a pretty big deal. Because we all live so far apart from each other we hardly get to see one another. Every couple years another one of the cousins gets married and its a big family reunion. This year it was Kris' turn.

It was really nice to get to know my new cousin Nate! He seems to fit in pretty well with our family. I am really happy for them both, they are a super cute couple.

Matt & Gina

One of the things I love most about my job as a wedding photojournalist is getting to know my clients. Every couple is so unique, they all have such exciting stories of how they first met, or how he asked her out.... I love hearing these stories, because then on their wedding day I feel like I can truly connect with each couple.

Once I have the opportunity to get to know the couple, I am no longer just an awkward guy with a camera taking pictures of complete strangers. Instead, there is a certain level of comfort, trust. They know me and I know them. This relationship, for me at least, gives the pictures a whole new meaning. Think about it... we see pictures all the time in magazines, or online of couples that we don't know, total strangers. We don't even look twice at these pictures unless we have some sort of history relationship with the people in it. It's so important to me to really get to know the couples I shoot.

Matt and Gina were such an awesome couple to get to know. We did their engagement photos just a few days before their wedding and afterwards we all went out and got some Mexican food. I love Mexican restaurants, I mean, it doesn't get much better than free chips and salsa! That night Marisa and I walked away from there feeling like we just made two new friends!(if only they didn't live in Florida)

We had such a great time on their wedding day and their pictures came out awesome. Take a look at their pictures in this slideshow I made for them. What a great couple!
