Nick & Jess’ Wedding

Posted by sab | Filed under Event, Photography

Nick and Jess are the beautiful couple who asked me to photograph their wedding :) This was the very first time I had taken wedding photos. I was very tired by the end of the ceremony and family photos, but it was a positive experience overall :)

I usually do a lot of posed portraits, so the wedding was a refreshing change from that sort of work. There was no sign of a bridezilla from what I could tell and everyone there was extremely nice to me! I felt like I learned a lot that day, having a lot of limitations to work around such as lighting conditions in the church and more obviously non-repeatability and time constraints. I believe limitations are what bring out creativity anyway :) But I’ll ramble more on that another time.

In my reading before the wedding, I came across a useful tip: nominate a person who knows the bridal party and family to herd people in an out of family photos for you. This made the posed group shots heaps easier and less stressful!

Also, I felt that having Bert with me as second shooter was comforting! Thanks Bert ^_^ It’s nice not to go it alone sometimes, and in an event scenario like this, it’s useful to capture different angles of the action.

Here’s a small selection of my pictures from the day:

My only regret is not capturing more photos of the bride getting ready, but I couldn’t because of a scheduling clash - I was taking group shots of the groomsmen during that time!

Anyhow, Nick and Jess told me they were very happy with the photos :)
