I've undertaken my first every wedding as the official photographer. Gail's brother was getting married, and as a wedding gift she suggested that we took the photos for them both.
I was a bit worried whether I would be able to do it, as I'm more used to taking photos of strangers on the street, than formal family occasions. Especially a wedding; one of the most important days in a woman's life, so I didn't want to muck it up.
Fortunately it was a lovely sunny day again and I don't think the photos turned out too bad. I took loads, so should be able to sort out some good ones. Ones that will look alright in an album. It was at a local registry office, so unfortunately it wasn't in a classically romantic location like a castle or a park. But I think I made the best of what was available.
At the reception I took some photos of the guests, the cake and the like. The small things that sometimes get forgotten; like this table display for example.
I know where you are coming from now.
ReplyDeleteWait till its not family and a white wedding in a church, see if your hand shakes a little.lol.
Like the pic too.
Congrats - I'm sure the photos will be a lovely record of their day. As you say, it's often the little details which many photographers overlook, but which can bring back so many memories.
