Wedding Wednesday: Photographing a Wedding
This past Saturday we went out to celebrate our friends (Paul & Katie!) on their engagement that had just happened earlier in the day. We were leisurely enjoying drinks at the bar out on the patio & talking here & there about upcoming weddings.
Our good friend Kara (Katie's sister) is recently engaged as well, as of about a month ago. Her & her fiance are thinking about a destination wedding next year, so we've been talking a lot about our planning process & I've been trying to give her some tips & tricks along the way. While deep in wedding conversation she asked me to be her wedding photographer!! WHAT!!!?? My first thought was, ME??!! REALLY?!?! I said YES of course & kept asking them if they were sure they wanted to pick me. I said yes a couple more times, laughed, smiled & couldn't believe my ears that they asked ME! It means so much that they would trust me to take pictures for their special day. To say that I'm excited is a major understatement.
I've got a lot of practicing to do in the next year - but I'm confident that I'm gonna rock it!
I have never shot a wedding by myself before, but I've attended a few where I've taken lots & lots of photos & then later gave them to the couples. I've always felt that attending a wedding is an awesome opportunity to practice my photography, so I'm glad that I have a few of those under my belt.
Here are some of my favorite shots that I took at a family friends wedding a little while back. It was the best wedding we had ever attended :)
