Happy New Year

The New Year already seems in full swing, but better late than never with all the best wishes for it, I'd say. 2009 has certainly started good for me. I've reconnected with some old friends by googling their name succesfully. Catching up with what they are doing. Since we've moved countries 3 times, it's easy to loose track of people. So occasionally I get the urge to catch up and try to find out what everybody is doing.

At the end of 2008 I photographed my first wedding as a professional photographer. I put away the images till today and sorted them out and am quite pleased with how they turned out. It was a very small wedding with the bride and groom, 5 guests and me. So no throwing of the bouquet, no dancing till the wee hours (well none for me to photograph anyway), but a very happy bride and groom. Since it was my first official wedding, I have nothing to compare it to, but I was touched that they gave a nice bouquet of flowers to the mother of the groom, who apparently had helped out a lot and also they came by on a later date to give me a nice bouquet as well as a thank you. And they hadn't seen the pictures yet. I hope they are pleased as well. I think they make a beautiful couple and wish them all the best for their future together
