First Attempt at Engagement Pics and Special Request!

One of my best friends - Karen Henao - asked if I would take her engagement photos this past weekend. She wanted me to do the wedding pics too...but she decided I would make a better maid of honor -- a compliment either way ;) Her fiance Ryan Hurst (also an RA @ SNC) isn't so psyched about the cost of a wedding considering they have to graduate in May, find a place to live, plan a wedding...all before the big day: June 10, 2011. It's a Friday.  

So...I told her that I would ask around to my awesome photo peeps if anyone would be interested in taking her wedding photos (pre-ceremony, wedding, reception, dance, the whole shebang). Karen said that she wants to place a lot of emphasis on the photography portion of the wedding budget, so think 'ca-ching,' and duh, you can hang out with me, too :) They are also thinking party bus...c'mon how could anyone turn this down?? Mary I know you've got lots of experience doing this gig, but I wasn't sure if you could do this as "Freelance" work or if you have to go through your place of work. Would anyone be interested? Karen's never even been to a wedding before, so she asked me to help out as much as possible with the planning...which as you can see is not much time to work with.  

Please let me know as soon as possible if you are available on that date/interested/know someone who is. The wedding is June 10, 2011 at Mayville, WI - about 1 1/2 hours south of G.B., a little south of Fond du Lac off of 41.

Here are some of the photos I took over the past weekend...in the freezing cold up at SNC and G.B. I took 533 photos and Ryan picked out his favorite 100 which they both got down to about 50. Here are some of my favs - not edited, cropped, rotated or anything yet but just a taste of what's in the mix. What do you think?
