As I’m going through Shelby & Tim’s wedding photos, processing the images, I found one that is just precious. We were in the middle of formals, and about to photography Shelby, Tim, and Sydney together. Tim started to fix his bride’s dress, while she shared a moment with her daughter.

I just love the look in Julia’s eyes in this first one, and what a kiss!

Julia danced quite a bit with the flower girl, this is one of my favs.

During all the posed wedding pictures, there is always some hustle and bussle. The groom’s mom pulls out her lip stick. The best man sneaks a kiss of the maid of honor. These sort of things are what I watch for. Sometimes the moments are not as grand but still fun.

Jamie, one of my two snowstorm brides, had a long list of formal portraits to take before the ceremony. The wedding party consisted of two groomsmen, three bridesmaids, two dogs, and two children. Here is a photo that I took while the bride was attempting to get the ring bearer and flower girl to pose with her.

Lakeview House – Wedding Photography

I photographed my first wedding on Sunday at the Lakeview House in Lake Oswego, Oregon. I think it went well. I am still processing the 400+ images I shot, and have found some I really like so far. The ceremony was lovely. Due to it being at the edge of a cliff I had a bit of trouble getting as close as I’d have liked to during it, without being disruptive. Luckily I had the 85mm lens which on my dslr becomes a 127mm (approximately).

The bride has specifically said she wanted to enjoy her wedding and not spend a lot of time being devoted to pictures. Considering this, I tried to be as unobtrusive as possible. It brought up some interesting things for me to think about. For instance, to me this meant I shouldn’t stop the wedding party when walking down the isle, leaving the ceremony, which resulted in not getting the best shots of everyone. I would specifically ask a couple how they felt about this next time.

During a quiet moment in the ceremony I heard my camera beeping. I had never even noticed my camera’s beep before. Luckily I caught it before anyone else did and found the setting to turn it to quiet. The other major obstacle I encountered was gathering people for shots. I definitely learned I need to be more aggressive at this in the future. Again this was a call between how much interruption the bride wanted verse how many formals she really needed. In this situation I choose to get as much as I could and let her know should she decide she wanted more formals later on to just let me know.

Would I do it again? Sure, it was exhausting but fun and I’m excited to hear what the couple thinks of the photos. Speaking of, I should get back to processing images.
