Photographing the Christensen wedding was my first "official" wedding shoot....and it wasn't even that official. But it was a grand experience and I learned a lot from it.
I was thankful for their patience as I took family shots and then these private shots of the couple that took a while, but I've posted a select few of my favorites to highlight on this site.
I hope they were happy with them. I of course am my worst critic.....but there are one's I am quite proud of for being a first timer!
This is the only shot that the bride actually set up.
She gave me complete freedom on the rest of the shots, but she was the one who suggested to lean up against the tree and it made for a great backdrop.
These were taken in color, but I liked them better in a warm B&W cause it reminded me of the color of the actual statues. I love the representation of the bride & groom in the foreground of the statues. At the temple grounds they aren't necessarily posed as "man & wife" even though they're sitting together. But they do look like they're contemplating it.
I love to get in real close when they don't even know it. I just love this picture, cause he's probably saying something like, "When is this going to be over!"
The place where it all went down:
Seattle LDS Temple in Bellevue, WA
Last but not least my favorite shot. I mean, only to a professional would it be a good shot. It's my favorite, cause it was my first time playing with aperture. Still it's not the greatest shot....I'm my own worst critic again and the sky wasn't the prettiest of colors that day.....it would've helped if her bouquet was a bolder color and not white!......but still the shot worked for me and I know I can do it again, someday. That's what counted for me. Like I said I'm still learning. I mean, I'm no dummy when it comes to photography, but I'm still amateur compared to the pro's of the PRO Professional world out there.....but that's another topic.
