What an experience
Over this past weekend, my daughter and I traveled to Wyoming to take pictures for a friend's wedding. We weren't sure how it would go and were pretty nervous.
The only wedding I had ever been to was my wedding and it was over 20 years ago, and my daughter had never been to one. So we really had no idea what the order of events was. So it was a good thing we got there the day before and was able to attend the rehearsal so we could plan out where we would be during certain times and figure out how the day was going to go.
We made a list of the shots that we wanted to get so that we wouldn't forget anything during the craziness of the day. The rings were one thing that I was nervous about, but I figured out a way to make them look cool. I took this shot with my macro lens and had a flash on my camera so that I could close down the aperture and get a lot of detail in the rings and black out the background.
I brought almost all of my lenses and ended up using every one that I had brought throughout the day. For this shot, I used my 70-200mm and got really far. The venue was beautiful and I wanted to make sure I was getting shots that showed off the location as well.
The entire wedding was so beautifully planned. It was so cool to see all the love that everyone had for the bride and groom and their family.
Shooting the wedding wasn't as big of a challenge as I thought it would be. Probably because my daughter and I planned out the majority of our shots beforehand and we did a great job coordinating where we would be shooting so that we didn't end up in each other's shots.
I was honored to be there for one of my good friends and document this next chapter in his life. It was nice to see him so happy and enjoying his life that he has been building.
