Wedding Bells

Not too long ago I shot my first wedding. It's quite a hard business to get into (and rightfully so), needing experience that is impossible to obtain without prior experience. What an experience it was though! The action of the day always had me shooting, and the natural emotion in people always gave me something to shoot.

The main photographer's primary lens died so I loaned her my main lens, leaving me with my awesome 50mm, but it was quite an impediment in an indoor ceremony. My flash died as well, luckily the main photog lent me her spare for the evening.

Considering the circumstances and my lack of prior experience, I feel I did well. The experience I gained from this will definitely apply to future events, wedding or otherwise. Though, I hope to have the opportunity to shoot as a second in the future.

As always, the whole set is on my Flickr:

Fireworks in August?!

So I lied, I said I'd keep up with the blog and I clearly haven't.

So the Fourth of July came and went and I spent my night laying down in a parking lot as fireworks exploded above. Obviously I had to shoot it!







As always, the whole set is on my Flickr

I also had an opportunity I have been waiting about 7 months for, and that was to shoot maternity portraits for the first time! Now, this was honestly more difficult than I had anticipated, but I like the results and so did the mommy to be, and that's what counts.







And the happy couple:



Well, that's that. I'll honestly try to continue to blog, for whomever may be reading. In the meantime, feel free to have a gander on Facebook and see all of my work on Flickr.
