This weeked was crazy busy! Spent all day Saturday photographing a wedding. I had been so nervous about the endevour. I am not by any stretch a professional photographer. I am more of a hobbiest. I love taking pictures, but can't imagine a world where anyone would pay me to do it (it would be like being paid to scrapbook- too good to be true). Anyway, a few months ago a friend of the family approached me about doing photos for his wedding. The bride and groom are both pretty young and didn't have a ton of money to pay a professional photographer. They asked if I would do it for a lesser fee. I thought long and hard about this before agreeing. In the end, I agreed to do the photos but told them I was uncomfortable taking any payment. This was a good learning experience for me, so I feel that we all gained something from the experience.
So, over the next few days I will be posting some photos from the wedding. I will also be posting a few projects I helped with to make this wedding a success. I have been friends with the grooms aunt for years- and she hosted the reception. I helped with a few things for the party and will be showing those as well.
That sounds interesting. Days that are close to wedding are always busy not only for the couple but for all the loved ones too. I am also excited about my best friend’s ceremony that is in the next month at one of the destination wedding venues Los Angeles. I am just rushing here and there for gifts, outfits and other stuff.
