Beach wedding

I got to get some practice in a few weekends ago... as a 2nd shooter for a wedding on the beach.... the beach was lined with roses...

The walkway with ribbon

Lauren's wedding Part 2 ;)

This truly was a beautiful day... I just wanted to share a few more photographs......

I was off in a distance... this was taken as they were walking away from the ceremony... I added a little sun flair effect... I like it :)

Lauren wore locket sized photo charms of relatives were have passed away... Here she is sharing a memory with one of her guests....

And now sharing some of the portraits

I had actually cropped from this from a different photo... although the trees look crazy in the background.. and the flowers are slightly out of focus... I like this picture... although I may end up toning down the background when I edit more....   Notice the three charm photo's...

Lauren

We had the pleasure of attending Nate's cousin's wedding on Sunday... It was an absolutely beautiful day... she got married at Mount Harmon Plantation  http://www.mountharmon.org/ .  We were a little late arriving so I wasn't able to photograph the Plantation but please check out the link.  Honestly, I think the location is better accessed via waterway.  The road to get there was... ummmm.. beautiful but very very different... it's like a machine just went through and cut a small pathway in the woods... great view but it was only a 1 way road...

I wasn't the photographer for this wedding... but I tried to sneak in some shots

The Bride, Lauren

 

The groom with their daughter

Their daughter is so incredibly cute... she did NOT want to stay with the bridal party though... LOL

Again being guided back to the group

Nate and his cousin

The Cake, a delicious red velvet

much to learn

Wow... so, Meredith asked if I would go with her to a wedding she was shooting last Saturday and help out... She thought it would be a good opportunity for me to experience photographing a wedding... well, I absolutely never realized how exhausting the process was for photographers... maybe it was because I was nervous... I helped out with equipment and holding reflectors... she also suggested I try and photograph as much as possible... for the experience...
Well, I definitely learned that I have ALOT to learn... oh my stars... I have sooooo much to learn...
It was fun... and I can't wait to do it again...
I know this needs to be cropped... and it's crooked... but heck... it's a start...
sneak peak... A full write up to come once I have permission.... ;)
