A Georgia Wedding in August

This is Mr. and Mrs. Vogel. I took their photos after their Mormon ceremony at the Church of Latter-Day Saints Atlanta Temple. Kami and Sascha are a wonderful couple and I had a blast shooting them.

First Competition . . . Sort of.

I’ve been riding horses on and off at the same barn for 15 years. Seven years ago I went to my first cowboy mounted shooting competition. I had only shot a gun once before that. I didn’t do too great but had a fantastic time. I went to a few more and got a little bit better and won the 2008 Georgia State Championship for my class.

For the past year I’ve been working with a new horse that has never been shot off of. When we first got him he had a hard time turning circles and cantering without bucking. We’ve been training him and shooting off of him for the past two or three months at practice shoots at home. He’s been doing great and we decided to bring him to the August shoot in Gainesville. He is the reason I decided to shoot again.

So this was my first competition in 6 years and Wyoming’s first competition ever. The title of this post means yes, it was a competition but I had a feeling that we wouldn’t really be that competitive.

Here are a few pictures from the competition.

     A little bit of trouble on the last stage. BUT notice the pole behind me without a balloon 🙂 A pray and spray that worked out.

 My parents brought Shadow to watch and she and Wyoming bonded after he tried to eat her.
