« Invitations to Photography... »

... a lovely thing happened tonight... i was asked to be the photogapher at a wedding...

My first thought - panic, of course ;-)

I think i'm the kind of photographer who gets lucky, so my self confidence in having to "perform under pressure" is pretty low ;-) Now, don't get me wrong, i'm thrilled at my abilities, and every so often, i utterly freak out with some of the successes i've had, but to have to be on my game, for such an important occasion has me a little on edge ;-)

So, i've suggested the master... luxography.ca and i can easily be the fre range chicken with the funny big camera ;-)

I think the key with wedding photography is to make sure you incorporate the couple's vision into the picture. Some photographers run wild with their own ideas and forget why they are there. Certainly their ideas are important. But it's the day of the couple...

PS: I think you can do it. Just practice is all..

then i'm in good shape.... i'm all about candid captures of feelings and emotions - exactly what the couple asked for ;-) Still.... gulp ;-)

All you have to remember is to make sure the lighting works. Shooting digital is better for that because you can see what works.

Either way, practice beforehand.

KNow what your venue will be.
