My first wedding…

I was asked back at the beginning of May to shoot a wedding for the guitarist in my former band. I did it because I hadn’t seen him in a while and had only met his fiancee once before, plus the whole deal was being held at a place in Broad Ripple called Chef JJ’s Back Yard that had a great reputation. It was a very nice venue and the food was excellent.

Shooting was fun and gave me a chance to try a lot of new things. I’m glad to have been a part of Keith and Minji’s wedding and that I didn’t screw things up too badly.

My first model

As I mentioned last time, I managed to convince a lovely young lady to model for my very first (mostly) serious shoot with an actual live human. I got a chance to use my big reflector and speedlight with umbrella.

She’d also never done anything like this before so, as some of the photos show, she’s a bit uncomfortable but loosened up and I think I got some good shots. As always, I’ve learned a few things I need to work on but I’m pretty happy with this as a first attempt.

Here are some of my favorites.
