Adam and Debbie’s Wedding – Taken:August 2007

I attended a very close friend of mine’s wedding in August, at beautiful Florian Park, near Newfolden, Minnesota.  I took a few photos of the wedding, and I sent a copy of a CD to the bride and groom with all the photos that I took.  I was nervous about taking photos because I’m very shy and I didn’t want to get in the way of the photographer that they had hired or anything like that, as I have never taken photographs of something going on, usually just things aroud my house or something.  I had a BLAST taking photos though, and I hope I get a chance to take photos at a wedding again soon.  The wedding was absolutly beautiful, and they couldn’t have asked for a nicer day.

Introduction / About Me

My name is Beth Philipp, and I’m currently living in Arizona, but am originally from Thief River Falls, Minnesota.  I am sixteen years old, and I live with my parents and my twin sister Sara.  I also have two brothers who live in Phoenix, Arizona with their families.  Since I was about 6 years old I have been riding horses.  I started showing horses in Western Pleasure and gaming events when I was about 8 years of age.  My main focus now is Barrel Racing, and some other gaming events.

I love photography, but since moving to Arizona (moved here in August 2007) I have not taken very many photos at all.  I don’t like living here and I just don’t have the drive.  I can’t seem to find anything that I think is beautiful to photograph.  So, until I get back into the swing of things, and start taking photos again, I’m going to be posting photos that I have taken in the past.  I would like to say Thank You to Shelley Paulson, an amazing photographer from Minnesota, for sharing this site on her blog.  I first ”met” Shelley on a horse website, when she contacted me about attending on of her photography seminars.  She is an amazing photographer and I hope one day she can photograph my wedding and my senior pictures. I love looking at her photos over and over, I hope one day I can be half the photographer she is.

 Also, all of my photo’s are un-edited.  The only thing I ever do to them is re-size them.  I am not good with photo programs yet.  Even the color swap pictures and black and white is usually done on my camera, never in a program, so any photos I post are untouched and exactly the way that I took them. 

 I hope you check back often and please, comments are more than welcome, I want to become a better photographer and I need feedback and all the tips I can get!

Much Love,  Beth Philipp
