I was stressed out by the challenge of shooting my first wedding. To add to the stress I had no lighting assistant due to unforeseeable circumstances and the weather was changing minute by minute so working outdoors had me extra paranoid. Fortunately I had prepared very well and formed a great relationship with the couple.
After sharing the images with the couple last night I was relieved by their overwhelming excitement and appreciation. I wasn't able to get all the shots I had envisioned due to time constraints but delivered on what the couple wanted and exceeded their expectations in some regards.
Having not really attended many weddings in my life, I now know what a true privilege it is to shoot one and what responsibility the photographer has to document such an important event in these families' lives, as well as to showcase the talents of all the creative people involved in putting everything together.
