When I go to weddings I usually have my camera in hand. You might compare me to a musician who feels more comfortable while holding a guitar. I am more comfortable taking pictures than socializing.
I am not a professional photographer; but, I really love taking photos at weddings. I do my best to stay out of the hired professionals way. This means I end up with shots of the photographers arm or tripod that have suddenly been injected into my composition. (Note arm in the image on the left.)
I don't love that; but, they are working. Being a wedding photographer is a huge responsibility - their needs take priority over mine.
I love having the opportunity to capture the moments the professionals don't. Most professional wedding photographers have a series of "standard shots." They don't always have time to look around with a creative eye.
The flower girls and bridesmaids are a favorite focus for me. I also take a lot of still shots: the buildings, the cake, the food, the decorations, the landscape, etc. Weddings are a fabulous "play ground" for the amateur photographer!
This is the most beautiful wedding page I have ever seen! I hope you make a copy for the bride. I know I would love to have this page if it was me - it is just sooooo pretty!

Thank you Theresa. This page will go to the bride. I love making Mosaic Moments as gifts.

Tami,
I just bought your kit and am excited to make a scrapbook using your techinques. I wanted to ask what size photo the tree is in the background of this page? I know sometimes you blend photos, but this looks like just one picture? It is an incredible layout! I have not yet developed my recent vacation photos and keep wondering what size to print for the photos because it looks like you print some very large size photos for your layouts, as well as, the 4 x 6.

Karen,
All the photos used were printed a standard 4x6 size. The tree in the background was created using 3 different photos.
Good luck with your layouts!
