My sister asked me to take hers, and I was excited about it at first. Then the more I thought about all that was involved and having Trent not be present to help me wrangle the kiddos, I began to panic. Shooting someone's wedding is a huge deal! Those pictures are forever!! I even tried to get out of it a few times and she had to assure me over and over again that my skillz were good enough for her.
After all is said and done I am so happy I did it! It didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped, but I made it through and I am really happy with the results! I ended up getting a bum cf card from the camera store, and of course I didn't know it was faulty until I was in the middle of taking her bridal portraits. I thought my brand new $$$ camera was acting up and that it was going to have to be returned. But, after visiting a few camera stores in Chicago and a telephone pep talk from a schweet photographer friend, I got everything worked out and the rest of the weekend was smooth sailing! (well, except for my nerves)
Here are a few of my favorite bridal portraits--
