So many people getting married every day. So
many beginnings. And each one of these beginnings will be
remembered forever by those involved. And to help them
remember...the wedding photos!! Being the photographer at a
wedding is not something to be taken lightly. I resisted doing
weddings for a very long time before I gained the required confidence in myself, my
experience, and my equipment.
I've
learned three things. Trust your equipment, KNOW your equipment,
and carry a backup for
everything possible!
I've always wanted to be involved in something beautiful and meaningful. And
since I've started doing weddings, I feel I'm doing something GOOD for
people. I get very positive feedback which tells me I'm on the
right track. I love seeing the smile on their faces when they look
at my photos of THEIR wedding! The bride and groom are the sole
judges of whether I'm good enough or not. And from the feedback
I'm getting, I believe I'm getting better with each wedding I do!
"Why do I want to do something that has so many emotions tied up in
it that it makes normally rational people act crazy in it's planning and
on the day itself?" That's the one thing that really kept me from
shooting weddings for a long time. But, you know what? I've
gotten to the point that I've done so many now and feel comfortable with
it! I've learned to deal with the
hectic day by knowing what's happening and being ready for it.
AND, knowing that I'm part of a new beginning of life for a happy couple
and knowing that their grandchildren will be looking at the photos I've
taken as part of the history of their family gives me a fantastic
feeling of "rightness" and an understanding of my
responsibility to do my best!
So, do you wanna see some
wedding photos? Hmmm??
