My first wedding. Shooting this was a doozy, exciting, humbling, everything all at once. I was nervous (despite being good friends with the bride and groom) that I wouldn’t get certain shots, that I’d lose my SD cards or break my camera or get lost or sick. Every worst-case-scenario situation was running through my head up until the moment I finished taking pictures of the reception and got into my car to go home.

Weddings are such big deals, can you imagine if I accidentally deleted every photo I had or got into a car wreck on the way home, that also ended up smashing my SD cards to bits, rendering every photo inaccessible? I could. But, with the first one under my belt, I’m ready to do more.

It was pretty incredible and affirming to be included in such a big way on one of the most important days of peoples’ lives. A blessing in so many ways.
