Well I've had my first taste of wedding photographer world, what a whirlwind. I definitely enjoyed myself and am fairly happy with a few of the shots but man did i under rate the challenges of that position. For instance.. how do you focus on taking that one in a million photo while sobbing through the ceremony? I assure you, its very distracting.
In addition to taking pics, Katie wrestled me into doing her makeup. It went something like...'ok! who's doing my makeup? i like your makeup, YOU do it!'. My wedding service CV is rapidly growing, along with center pieces, wedding favours, and a summer spent as a wedding singer, id say i could open up a one stop wedding shop fairly soon. 'Could' being the opportune word. I think im happy sitting in as second photographer and keeping to this glass venture I've got going.
I am touched to have been so intimately involved in this couples wedding. The Katie I knew before Julian was a lot like the Melody I know today, self sufficient and a little non-conformist (wicked features in my opinion). But to witness someone you care about soften into this glowing, contagiously happy person whos crazy in love.. well it just makes me happy and in turn has probably done a good amount to soften me and my views on marriage. Not saying I'll ever get married, but it does mean I'll be ragging on it less.
