My first wedding shoot
As many of you know, I am not into taking pictures of people other than my kids. I have never taken a fashion shot and likely never will. A lot of it is that I find these pictures very fake. I am just not a “look at me” kind of person and do not like others who are.
Still, events I find quite different. The pictures serve a higher purpose than just “look at me” and are a way for those in the picture to remember events for years later. Therefore, when asked I often bring my camera to these events. Still, I had never been asked to bring my camera to a wedding.
Recently, some friends of ours who were not able to hire a professional wedding photographer asked if I could take pictures. I obliged and tried to do the best job possible. In the process, I think some things worked well and some things not so well. Here are several of the shots (note: I did not do any post processing).
