weddings make me nervous

I probably shouldn't admit this here but I hate shooting weddings.
I agree to do them for friends. sometimes.
I get so jumpy, uptight and apprehensive, I'm worse than the bride (or groom).
there's just so much pressure and I always think I'm going to do a horrible job and worry that these people (usually friends whom I know & love dearly) who have trusted me w/ their memories will end up with terrible photographs to immortalize the most important day of their lives.
Last Saturday night was a double whammy because I had been illin' serious w/ a chest cold from hell and one of those rack-your-body type of coughs that had been keeping me down and out for the count since thursday.
LUCKILY, i have amazing, brilliant & talented friends who were available to be my assists this weekend at the Dallas Aquarium for Gracie & Jay.
so Zack & Glo - GRAZIE. I heart the heck outta you both. you rock. like slayer. (darling GLO thanks also for running to the CVS to get me cold meds and cough drops. xx!)

Gracie & Jay - you are inspiring and beautiful. the obvious love you have for each other illuminates the particles of air around each of you. it's like...magic.
thank you for allowing me to share in the first day of your "officially-hitched" life together! it didn't hurt... much.
:)
LOVE!
(and be kind to the animals damn it or Gracie will kick your ass!)

PS!
James popped the question!
Kimberly said YES!
so they're up next.
and yes, I'll be there to shoot it...with butterflies in my gut and love in my heart.

Manya & Blue Petal at Dan's Silverleaf this Thursday

manya flier dan's-2

blue metal

I have found what you are like

i have found what you are like
the rain,

Who feathers frightened fields
with the superior dust-of-sleep. wields

easily the pale club of the wind

and swirled justly souls of flower strike

the air in utterable coolness

deeds of green thrilling light
with thinned

newfragile yellows


lurch and.press

-in the woods
which
stutter
and

sing


And the coolness of your smile is
stirringofbirds between my arms;but
i should rather than anything
have (almost when hugeness will shut
quietly) almost,
your kiss

hugeness will shut quietly
