Darrin and Alison's wedding

Well, I got talked into shooting a wedding. I haven't done one in a while and I remembered it as being a stressful day. This was not the case... I loved it!

Lets back up.

I was asked by my great friend Laura at Soul Photography to be a second shooter for this wonderful lady she knows. It would be a smaller wedding at a golf course about an hour from my home in Calgary. The people where said to be easy going and super nice. So, I said sure!

I packed up my trusty Sony with everything I own for lenses and set off to get the shot that they were not expecting. Snipe here, snap there. To be at distance but still engaging the couple. 300+ photos later... It was all over.

I would show Laura the back of my Alpha now and again. She would gush about what she liked and she seemed to like alot. Which is good... I wasn't liking some of them and I would toss them as I went.

At the end of the night, back home, I started getting thank you's from Laura and she said she put up a slide show of my photo's. She said I made the Bride cry.

Job well done.
