My graphic design professor said that she won't take pictures at weddings. I feel like I now have a better understanding of how she came to that decision. Matt and Merry, newlyweds from Saturday, invited me to share their special day and to take pictures with the photographers. I always had it in my head that being a wedding photographer was something I would enjoy, but let's face it, I don't want/need that responsibility. Here are a few mistakes I made throughout the day:
1. I wore 3-4 inch heels. IDIOT.
2. I banked too heavily on the sunshine for my photographs, but the sunshine never came.
3. I was too afraid to simply ask the other photographers to move when they were in my shot. (now I'm having tons of fun editing them out.)
4. I should have switched lenses more.
I learned a lot from this experience and am very thankful for the opportunity I had. Matt and Merry were such a blessing to be around.
