Well it's official - I am now a wedding photographer. This last weekend I shot my first wedding of my two friends Maggie and Nick Jensen. Nick was my roommate fall semester of 2005 before I went to Mexico. We've kept in contact over time and he asked me to do his wedding.

It was a smaller wedding and a good one to start with. There was about 40 people at their wedding at a local church building in Pleaston Grove, Utah.

Sealed with a kiss and a few signatures on a paper the couple was married. It was a joyous event for all those present.

Some how as I was taking their pictures the leaves were lined up perfect that I got this alfalfa look. Fun!

The cutting of the wedding cake represents a ritual that was seen as a dramatization of the male's dominance. At first, the groom directs the bride's hand to cut the first piece as proof of her submissiveness. The bride then offers the groom the first bite, symbolizing the partaking of her body. Then, as a act of revolt, she pushes the cake into her husband's face; however, he endures all without losing face. Finally, showing that she is obedient to her husband's wiser judgment, the bride wipes the icing from his face. Nowadays, most couples do not go through this ritual, and consider the cutting of the cake more as a good luck for marriage.

So here's to good luck!

I wish the two of them much happiness throughout their lives together. they are both wonderful people and I was honored that they asked me to take their pictures.
Leave a comment and let me know what you think of them and perhaps offer some advice or ideas that have worked for you.
