Official Wedding Photographer!

Hey everyone! So, I'm really excited and nervous at the same time because I have officially booked my first paid wedding! Last Saturday was the engagement session. Going into it, I was a kind of apprehensive about how it would go. I was a little worried about whether or not I would meet thier expectations and seem professional. I went through the shoot in my head about a hundred times that day before we went over there. Just to make sure we knew what all the settings should be on the camera, Sean and I did a little mini-shoot outside our apartment. We didn't want to have to worry about it when we got there.
Sean (as my assistant :D) and I went to a park in the evening and met the couple. They turned out to be really nice. Overall, I think that my first shoot had some minor glitches that need to be fixed next time, but I think we got some decent pictures out of it. After we took pictures the couple, Orlando and Sandy, took us out to dinner. So that helped us get to know them a little better and that always helps. Now hopefully I'll be more comfortable with them for the wedding which is on July 18th.
So, we've posted some of the finished products on our flickr page for them to look at, and now we're just waiting for them to pick their favorite. Here are some of the ones that I think turned out the best. Let me know what you think! :D

I like pic number 1 because I like when they are both looking at the camera. I am so proud of you and excited! Love you, Mom
