My camera is always ready so I can catch silly moments like these without interrupting the flow of the moment by say “Do that again!”
The girls prayed over Julia and her marriage during the bridesmaids photos and I thought that was such a beautiful way to show how these ladies support each other.
Kaitlyn requested a few traditional portraits in the church before we headed out to the park for the wedding party and family photos and I was happy to make that happen
I spend a lot of time here talking about authentic moments and candid photos but I know that weddings are still one of the only times your whole entire family is going to be together so we absolutely still get those formal photos. One good thing about having 15 years of experience is that I am pretty fast at these and you won’t have to stand still and smile for very long. We can usually knock them all out within 30 mins :D
I am currently writing this blog, reading reddit posts and uploading a different wedding to be delivered. So in case you thought I was even capable of doing one thing at a time, do you know another good reason for me to carve out time for pre wedding ceremony candids? Its the time I use to see what my camera settings need to be for the ceremony. I watch the people arriving and walking down aisles to dial in what I need for the important moments of the day. Plus, I get to photograph some kids looking bored or trying to escape, haha
