Wow. I'm exhausted, but in that amazing-I-worked-my-can-off kind of exhausted. Today was an amazing day in my career as a photographer. I shot my first for-hire wedding and I'm feeling really good about it. The bride was stunning and easy to work with and everyone cooperated and I didn't miss anything crucial!! I could not have done it without my trusty sidekick, Jennifer. She was amazing! Every time I needed something she was right there ready to provide it or had already anticipated it! She literally followed me around during the ceremony with a lens in each hand, ready to switch them out with me. I am so blessed to have a friend like her.
So now, I'm up to my eyeballs in post-processing, but I am blessed, let me tell you. and tired. and not quite ready for Sunday morning, but we'll survive. :)
PS - I just finished loading the photos onto my computer and there are 1525. wowsers. the crazy thing is that I deleted quite a few during the event, so I wonder how many I actually took?
About Me
- antho
- Every shoot is different. Every family is unique and special. Every couple has their own interpretation of their relationship. There is no cookie cutter session with me. I think if I get to that point, it's time to put the camera down, don't you? We've all seen those photographers - you know the underpaid hourlys at Sears, or the over-paid wedding photographer that you can tell is simply putting their time in to get the same images - just different folks than they did at the last setting or event. I pray before each shoot to be freshly inspired by the people in front of my lens, that I see what God sees in them. He loves each of us as His precious children and delights in our personalities and quirks. I feel like my calling is to witness that special something in you and capture it in an image. The day that I stop feeling that way about it is the day I need to close up shop.
