1st Wedding Shoot

I recently photographed my first wedding. The groom was a friend's son, whom I've known since he was five or six years old. Hard to believe he's old enough to have his own family.

What was the biggest lesson I learned about wedding photography? Talk to the wedding planner and find out how much time you're going to have for posed photos after the ceremony. Trust me, 15 minutes just isn't enough time. No lights to compensate for shadows thrown on the people in back. The fix? Don't put people in back. I'll come back and post a few of my favorites when I'm done editing.

The other thing I learned, I don't like Florida in August. It wasn't the heat that got to me so much as the humidity.
