Wedding 26.08.
Congrats to the lovely Rhiannon and her handsome husband Dustin.
And a huge thank you to them for letting me document their special day. It was definitely a learning experience and made me very excited about this possibly becoming a “future.” Originally, I was just going to shadow the photographer they hired, however he stopped answering calls and such a couple of weeks before the wedding. He had disappeared with their $300 deposit.
I will tell you with no hesitation that being the sole “eye” for the wedding was very challenging. Unfortunately, the 35mm camera my dad was going to use (the one I grew up on) was still acting up the day before the wedding. We didn’t want to take any chances, so we decided to stick with just the Olympus and the awesome new (to us) large format studio camera…to use outdoors with portraits. Therefore, only the Olympus could capture anything that happened inside…which was the entire ceremony. And that’s where I learned the most. I figured posed portraits and the like would be easy enough, but it was the timing of the events that are just barely planned out during the rehearsal that presented a rush. An exciting rush that I hope to experience again and again.
Luckily, I don’t have to wait too long. Alice and Donald’s wedding is next month. And it’s at Lowe Mill. Those are my stomping grounds, so I’m super excited for it!
