They just had their first boy. Congratulations!

As I mentioned in my last blog entry, the other day I had a chance to photography my first wedding. All in all, it was a pretty rewarding experience. The day started at around 11am for me and Hesty.

I’ve known about their wedding for a few weeks now, but tonight they stepped up and asked me to officially photograph their wedding for them.
