My Experience Shooting Weddings

I don't shooting weddings. There is so much stress and pressure to get the super important moments, and not miss a single thing. Technically it is hard, the lighting is usually awful and sometimes it is even too dark for the camera to focus.

That all being said, this month I have shot two weddings, and I have learned a lot from them.

I love the resulting shots of the wedding. There is nothing quite like being able to capture all of the emotions that go into a wedding day.
I love love being able to document the most beautiful and magical day of a couples life together. I find it as such a privilege that people seek my own creative eye.
I have even started to develop a photojournalistic style of capturing the wedding day. I want the people viewing my photographs to feel like they are there, in the moment with the new family.

While I was shooting this last wedding I realized, even though I do not want to shoot weddings professionally, I love documenting life with my camera. I love that people trust in me to document their special day through my eyes. I had this moment when I held up my camera, and I knew that I was doing something right. I was doing what I love, and what I want to do forever. I have found my passion, and I will do anything it take to turn this passion for capturing the lives of people into a career.
