This past weekend I photographed a wedding! Okay I helped shoot a wedding. It was awesome!
Going into this wedding I was really excited and more than a little nervous. This was the first wedding I’ve photographed since I’ve decided I want to be a photographer. And more specifically, that I want to be a wedding photographer. So I was putting a little pressure on myself to come away with completely awesome photographs. There was a lot of anticipation. And a little wondering if I’d really like wedding photography as much as I hoped I would.
But once I started photographing the wedding I calmed down. A wedding requires you to be in the moment. And I chose to bring myself to that moment. And to just have fun. I did. I cried during the ceremony. I was grinning cheek to cheek when I photographed folks dancing at the reception. I was loving it.
Thank you, Monica and Mike.
I can’t wait until my next wedding! I’ve decided I love weddings. And I love photographing weddings. That’s a relief.
