I have had several meeting with brides and grooms lately, and each time I've been asked about my second-shooter. I have several photographers that I can call on to help me out, but number one on my list is my friend Marie McGovern. We have photographed together several times, and she's wonderful at instinctively knowing where to be. If I'm inside, she goes outside, if I zoom with a long lens, she grabs a wide lens and gets the whole scene. Yin and Yang!
Marie lives here in San Antonio. We get together every so often to just talk photography, and about our kids and then some more about photography. Or Photoshop. But mostly photography.
We ran down to the park near my house a few days ago, and grabbed a few shots that she can use in her portfolio. It was FREEZING cold, my fingers were numb after 2 minutes, but I think she looks fabulous. I don't know why my nose was red and hers wasn't, and it was a good thing that I was not being photographed.
I grabbed this shot before she was aware that I had the camera in my hand. This is my favorite method of getting a natural smile.
This one just says "Yes, I hang out all the time around trees. I'm a tree hugger" or well, something like that.
And here she is, in front of the rock wall. Just trying to mix it up a bit.
I've been experimenting lately with layers and textures. This is a quickie. I could go much further with it, but this will do for now. 
So there ya go. Now you know what Marie looks like, and a little bit about her. I can add her services as a second-shooter at your wedding, and I promise you will love her. Just like I do!
Happily Ever After,
Leah
