Aside from our wedding, I feel like my husband and I have no special pictures together. This was my best attempt during our get-away. It was difficult on a sandy beach, but thank goodness for the gorillapod (mini tripod with legs that bend!).

Anniversary Get-Away...
My husband and I spent a weekend in Duluth to celebrate our 3 years of marriage. He planned everything about this weekend down to the last detail. Both days were about 85 degrees and pure sunshine. A slight breeze off Lake Superior made it absolutely fantastic. On our drive up, we stopped at Jay Cooke park for some hiking. Then we ate at Gordy's Hi-Hat in Cloquet. Later, we checked into the South Pier Inn right in Canal Park. We spent time at the beach, on our room's patio, and around town. What a great weekend and what a great husband for planning such a fun get-away. Here's to us...
The Lift Bridge rising for a sailboat to come through. And that is our hotel on the right. We were right on the water! Gorgeous.
Aww. Happy 3 years...
On another note, over the past week, I booked a bunch of photo shoots for August! Keep coming back and check them out as I post. First one should be posted by the end of next weekend!

So much stuff!
There are so many exciting things happening!
1. I've purchased a domain! Is that how you say it? The new website, http://www.briannagrayphotography.com/ is officially under construction! I'm also exploring business card ideas. Fun stuff.
2. Knowing that a bunch of equipment purchases are in my not-so-distant future, I've come up with a price plan for photo shoots. If interested, please drop me a note at briannagray123@yahoo.com for details!
3. On a personal note, this week I will celebrate 3 wonderful years of marriage with my husband, Brian. I love him more and more as the days go by. Here's a pic from our weekend in honor of my husband (doing what he does best... eating!).
*More pics to come!

Can't Tell Time...
A good friend informed me that in my last post I say I got home at 10:45, but my blog was posted at 10:39. This is a sign that I was extremely exhausted and couldn't think straight. Oops!! I'll work on my telling time skills next time around. I'll give credit to my personal editor, Robin!

The enormous lens!!
Although I have no pictures to post (yet), I have to gush about my day! Today, I was an official assistant to a professional photographer, Ali, of Alison Lea Photography. Wow! What a day! Although I have taken pictures at a wedding before (remember Katie and Ben's post?), this was totally different! Between the three of us (Ali, her assistant, Kendra, and myself) we had 6 or 7 camera bodies, a lens for each one, and a couple other lenses we would use throughout the day. We went through 12 memory cards shooting in RAW (we're talking images in the thousands), so they will be great to edit down the road!
The day started at 9 when we met at Ali's house to talk about the day. We met up with the wedding party in downtown Mpls at the church later on and started right away. Family pictures, a ceremony, a stop at the sculpture gardens, and a reception at the Grand Hotel all went by in a flash and I walked in the door to my apartment at 10:45 tonight.
The best part of my day was watching Ali interact with the clients, getting to know them personally, and even helping the bride attach her veil. The other favorite part of my day was Ali letting me use her enormous telephoto lens!!! Okay, this thing made my arms ache it was so heavy!! It was the coolest thing I've ever used and I am starting a savings plan today so I can buy one myself!
Overall, it was a great experience! Ali is a wonderful mentor on top of being a fantastic photographer. I look forward to shooting with her in the future (if she lets me) and learning more and more along the way. All my images were taken on her memory cards, so if I never get to post any of the images here, I'll lead you to her blog where hopefully she'll have pics posted soon.
Seriously... bed time.
