I have now attended four, count ‘em, FOUR wedding showers for Melanie (my brother Brian’s fiance). This is perfectly okay with me, not only because I am very fond of Melanie, but also because I have somehow been designated wedding shower photographer; and any afternoon that I get to spend wandering around with a camera in my hands is a good one.
This afternoon proved to be particularly fruitful photography wise; not only did I get a lot of good shots of Melanie and her shower guests (I didn’t post many of those online), but I managed to snag a lot of photos of other things that I’m quite pleased with. This is probably partially because this shower, which was for her relatives and family friends, was held at her grandparents’ charming farm house in the country.
I have discovered that not only are Melanie’s grandparents some of the sweetest people I have ever met, they also have a beautiful house full of photo opportunities. Her grandmother has lovely vintage collections sprinkled through their home, and just the fact that the property is a farm provides endless character waiting to be photographed.
I have posted my favorite shots from today in a (large) photoset on Flickr. I would definitely encourage you to check it out; I’m eager to share these photos with you. You can see them here.
