My first wedding

Weddings

While organizing and downsizing (I hear it’s good for the soul), I came across some old memory cards. Can you guess what I found on one of them? Well, I guess if you read the title you can figure it out. My first wedding… well, part of it. I found about 20 or 30 files of the first wedding I attended as a half wedding photographer. My friends were getting married in Kansas, backyard wedding, amazing property. They have a lake and a barn and a little ceremony site. They even built a dance floor. So awesome. They weren’t going all out, just a bunch of family and friends relaxing on the property that they owned. But it was quite beautiful. I had known my passion for photography, I was already in business but I had yet to foray my way into the wedding scene. I asked of course as I didn’t want to step on any toes of professionals. Turns out a friend of the bride’s younger high school aged sister was going to be taking photos. They were happy to have me take additional photos as well. She and I had the same amount of experience in weddings… none. The day was gorgeous, I stayed behind the scenes for most of it, and thats how I still kind of like it. I let the other girl lead and tried to stay out of her way, and had a great time with the friends I met while studying abroad.. man, was that an adventure.

Here’s one of the photos I found. Isn’t it just lovely. A little lake to usher them from the ceremony to the reception.
