This past Saturday was Ann’s wedding. Ann is not only one of Jane’s closest friends, but also Jane’s maid of honor when we got married. A few months ago, Jane told me that she had volunteered me to be their photographer. Not a backup photographer. Not a secondary photographer. Their primary and only photographer! Wonderful.

There are certain issues I have with doing wedding photography. I almost went into the business of wedding photography, but the thing is…it’s not an easy job. You can be a great photographer, but that doesn’t mean you are going to be a great wedding photographer. There is a lot of work, and yes…stress involved with being someone’s wedding photographer. The majority of the time, the bride and groom have very high expectatoins…and rightfully so. As a wedding photographer, if you mess up or if something goes wrong…you are a dead man. If the bride doesn’t kill you, her parents will. That is not a burdon I wanted to take on, so I opted to do wedding videography instead. I was much better at that, and mistakes could very easily be covered up with the video editing aspect of it. However I never bothered to follow through with it. I only ended up shooting two weddings.

In anycase Ann and her fiance Tim were counting on me to shoot their wedding, so I wasn’t going to say no. I did warn Jane though that her friendship with Ann was at stake. In all seriousness, I think Ann and Tim were pretty laid back about all of it. I think I had higher expecations of myself than they did.

I ended up snapping about 200 pictures. Here are a few of them:

Due to rain the night before, their ceremony was moved indoors. It turned out very nice, although the lighting proved to be a bit tricky.

Ann & Tim share their first kiss as husband and wife.

A nice posed shot outside. This is one of my favorite shots of the newlyweds.
