Makeshift Photographer

My cute little cousin Melisa is getting married on May 9th. Her and her fiancé wanted to get some pictures at the temple before the big day. My sister is a much better photographer than I, but unfortunately she has to work like 30 hours a day and wasn't able to get off. So, they got stuck with me. We drove to Manti today around 2:00. We got to the temple and it was FREEZING. If the wind wasn't blowing it was fine, but the wind was almost always blowing. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky(quite the opposite of yesterday's horrible snowy weather). We decided it would be fun to get some pictures up on a hill in front of the temple. As we started the trek up the hill(it truly was a trek, carrying tripods and such)we discovered that it was littered with deer poop. I mean it was it was EVERYWHERE. It is not necessary to point out that deer poop+white wedding dress=very bad. Somehow, we managed to work around it. Despite the glaring sun, cold wind, deer poop, and my poor photography skills, I think I was able to get a few decent pictures. They might even be good after my sister and I touch them up in Photoshop. Tomorrow we are goign to take some engagement pictures. This is keeping me quite busy, which is a change of pace that I readily welcome. Here are just a few of the "rough drafts":
