I have been promising and promising to share with you tales from my journey with Matt into the world of photography (more specifically wedding photography) and I am here to live up to those promises. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Here we go!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Matt has been shooting weddings for about two years now and has been trying to talk me into shooting with him for at least half that time. I was sort of shy about it at first, a little nervous...."fancy" c(ameras are quite intimidating and I also didn't know if I would be any good, I had never really used a camera before ( unless you count disposable...which I don't lol ) and so I had no idea what kind of "eye" I had. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We decided to travel with our good friends Nikki (a.k.a. <a href="http://pinkwithruffles.blogspot.com">Misses Octopus</a>) and her husband Travis to St. Augustine for a trash the dress session, which seemed appropriate since they had gotten married in St. Augustine a few years earlier. We ventured out early to catch the beautiful morning light .</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now I was still pretty green when it came to using my camera so I spent most of my time trying to get fun behind-the-scenes shots .....here are some of my favorites!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#006600;">(captions UNDERNEATH photos will let you know which shots are mine and which are Matt's)</span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg742C-G1NmcCxy7GaP9mF2RANgc0UvepB6pCD02IuVaC_bDwskpGpEWqYDVOj8bX1INeAHDD7qUPnqtrZI9GFcBhlZNz2nWitmQ5a2Z0xBjnQtCxCPW6qqfTB-ZQF8YDoU4lelW9iqwSw/s1600/Final_0012.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg742C-G1NmcCxy7GaP9mF2RANgc0UvepB6pCD02IuVaC_bDwskpGpEWqYDVOj8bX1INeAHDD7qUPnqtrZI9GFcBhlZNz2nWitmQ5a2Z0xBjnQtCxCPW6qqfTB-ZQF8YDoU4lelW9iqwSw/s400/Final_0012.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561473527358595554" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I LOVED the look of this huge moss covered wall on the outside of the fort!
