Did my first wedding on Saturday. A friend's wedding so of course there is that added pressure.

Started at 11am with a 3pm wedding, 6:30 reception and I did not walk in the door until 11 that night. Somewhere around 1300 shots.

But boy, what a great learning experience for the next time I get asked. Real easy group to work with, real clowns which made things seem alot easier. Lighting was alot of fun to figure out as the sky was dreary, the windows small and liberal use of flourescent lights mixed with incandescents over the altar. Had a second photographer as well and she was a tremendous help in helping cover all the bases.

Here are just a few pics, I won't bore you with pages of them.

Are you planning on doing this publicly as well? And by publicly, I mean for BCM'ers? (:

Actually had a fellow BCM'er ask about that not long after I posted and we will be talking about about that subject here in the near future. Myself and the other person that make up the team are working on making everything "official", meaning, setting up an LLC, etc, etc...all the fun legal stuff that comes with doing this. A shame you have to do it to something you love doing but such is the way.

Can do, spring doesn't seem all that far away this morning but let me know when you are ready.
