I’ve taken a lot of photos at weddings, many of which have ended up printed and framed by the newlyweds. I haven’t yet, however, had the opportunity to be hired as an official photographer. Well, that is, until today. (Insert obligatory jump for joy here.)
The wedding is actually right on the horizon, the first weekend in October. The couple will be married outdoors in a wooded locale, at a place that I can honestly say is “in my element.” I think the outdoor setting will play to my strengths as a photographer beautifully. Those who know my work know that I love shooting in the great outdoors. I can hardly wait! (That being said, I know that I have a lot of preparing to do…scouting out the location in advance, planning the must-take shots, buying extra memory cards, and much, much more!)
More than anything, though, I want to cater to the wishes of the couple. They seem very nice, and I want nothing more than to be able to provide them with wonderful memories of their big day through photographs. I think it is an honor that they have asked me to be part of their wedding, and I’ll do everything in my creative power to give them the photographs of their dreams.
Wish me luck!
