Thoughts of Weddings

I definitely feel like a girl the older I get. Not that I'm saying I haven't been a girl my whole existence. Recently I've been thinking of weddings. I love photographing them, and being apart of them. But most of all I look forward to my wedding. That's when my girly moments take flight. I think over and over of the things I've experienced. What I like, what I dislike. So lately, as I think more about what I'd have at my wedding, I fathom the amazing capabilities people have to put together such beautiful wedding receptions. I become puzzled, and undecided on colors. I love black, silver, and violet, but my sister laura did that, so that is X'ed out. Then I've thought that a black and white wedding with Rose red and Wine Purple would be beautiful. But then someone told me that sounded like a black persons wedding. I'm really not sure how. I was thinking of it nice from a black and white perspective with just the right colors. Plus I'm a sucker for deep red roses. Not that they are my only favorite flowers, I also love Asiatic Lilies, Daisies, and other flowers. So i'm sure I'll find something that I love. Here are a few of my ideas so far for my dream wedding:
My dream dress:

I actually tried this dress on my third year of college with my room mates. It was at a dress shop on mainstreet, near the college :) I've loved it ever since. Only problem was the length, I'll definitely have to add fabric to it.
The Asiatic flower looks like this:

Painting

As many of you may already know, I not only love photography, but I also love to paint. My last painting was of a photograph that my friend Scott Jarvie had taken at a family reunion. He was very kind to let me use his image for a painting. Here is the progress of the painting and the final image:
My sister Sara really wants me to do a painting for her of this dress she saw online. We weren't really sure what medium the artist used in this photo, so I'm going to try a different set of mediums all on water color paper, then do the final painting with the mediums of choice.
It may take me a little while to find those other photos. as for now, this is my progress on the dress painting.
