I was recently asked about the possibility of shooting a wedding. I realized that I don't have any examples of my wedding photography on here, but I have actually shot two weddings before. The first was when I was about 18 years old. It was for a friend and was shot completely on film with my Pentax K1000. Thinking about that still makes me nervous... film!? I don't even have those negatives anymore--after I got them developed I just gave them to my friend and she printed them. This was before I began working with Photoshop, so the photos were completely unedited... yikes. Then, in 2008, I flew back to Wisconsin to attend the wedding of one of my best friends--Ashley. I was teaching photography by that time and had a digital camera, so I brought my camera along just for fun. As it turned out Ashley and Dave's wedding photographer had a family emergency and couldn't make it. They asked if I'd fill in, and of course I said I would. I was pretty unprepared with only my 18-55mm lens, but I made do and ended up shooting a ton of photographs. It was really fun, actually, because I was adopted as part of the wedding party, which meant that after the reception I got to go with everybody in the "Jambo"-- instead of a limosine they opted for an RV. :) Here are a select few of the photographs.
Getting ready...
Like I said, this was a fun bunch of people to shoot...
