Wedding Practice

Today we practiced shooting our first wedding. We are not the “main” photographers, but we will be doing most of the shooting as the photographer is part of the wedding party. It looks to be quite an educational experience as well as fun and rewarding in all kinds of ways. We have already learned a lot from the practice pictures we took today – things about exposure, lighting, manual mode – etc. We also walked around Winchester, VA and took some practice shots. We have never been downtown Winchester before, and it’s very nice and quaint – I only wish it weren’t so far off the beaten track for commuting to DC…

We’ve even been doing research online looking at other professionals’ sample shots. We’d like to get some good ones like those, but I do have to remind myself that they have been doing this much longer than I.

Tomorrow, we will see how well we do…
