I was extremely honored, though admittedly a bit anxious, when my friends Randy and Tessa asked me months ago if I would be their wedding photographer. My only previous wedding experience was a very impromptu last-minute request from a buddy of mine to get some shots at his wedding, when I happened to be next door taking photos at a motorcycle event. Despite my hesitation, they said they loved my work and had confidence I'd do a good job for them. We worked together a few months back on their engagement photos, and we had a great time: Boise Engagement Photos
I knew if I was going to do this, I wanted to do everything I could to get it right. I bought books and magazines on wedding photography, studied all sorts of online resources, watched videos, bought another lens I thought would be helpful (it was), stressed, made pages of notes, took a six-hour trip (each way) to the venue a month ahead of time to check it out an plan, made arrangements for my (also inexperienced) assistant to help with posing and details, planned, rented a backup camera body, lens and video light, and stressed some more.
One thing I knew about wedding photography - there are no do-overs. I did all I could to make sure we could capture all the important moments in an artistic way, without failure. It was a good opportunity to grow in my photography skills, while hopefully capturing moments at their most special of occasions.
I wound up taking over 1500 photos between the rehearsal Friday evening and the ceremony and reception on Saturday. A few clouds would have been nice, but nope. Bright, harsh sun. It was hard work, but a lot of fun, too. Randy and Tessa are an absolutely wonderful couple, clearly head-over-heels in love with each other!
CC welcome, as I do want to continue to learn and grow. As you experienced pros know, things move very quickly, and I certainly didn't get everything I wanted, nor did I always get the technical aspects right when the moments happened. All part of the learning process, I guess. Here's a sampling:
