My First Wedding Shoot
I got asked to shoot a family wedding a few weeks ago. Up until now, I had only shot one other wedding, and that was as a third shooter....meaning there was no pressure on me since I was not the main photographer or even the secondary photographer. I jumped at the chance to photograph this wedding--my husband's cousin and his bride.
After accepting the task, I immediately started studying wedding photography. I normally do family portraits, so I had a lot to learn. It felt like cramming for final exams. I only had two weeks to prepare for the big day.
The bride and groom were really sweet and laid-back, which made them easy to work with.
I struggled with the lighting for the indoor photos of the ceremony and reception. I don't have the proper equipment nor enough experience shooting indoors, since I normally shoot with natural lighting outdoors. But, I'm pretty happy with how my photos turned out overall :)
All of these were shot with a Canon Rebel T3 using a 50mm and 85mm.
Congratulations wishing many happy years together ! And great pictures.
Haha....I was the photographer here, not the bride :) I'm glad you like the pictures, though :)
i bet your lense is expensive. good shots
Actually not expensive! Well, compared to other lenses out there, that is ;) Haha! You can spend a fortune on photography equipment. My 50mm was about $125 and I got the 85mm used for $240. I'm glad you like the photos!
Very cute pictures. You have talent. God job.
Thank you!
Soo funny, happy and great pics! Have a wonderful life together <3
I was the photographer, not the bride ;) I'm glad you like the pictures!
