A couple months ago I was lucky to have my friend Nick, one half of Candeo Photo, ask me to second shoot a wedding with him. I’ve shot a couple of events, and some people here or there, but mostly keep myself confined to photographing mountains and streams. Weddings have always scared me a bit because of their high stakes nature. What if I didn’t get the shot? What if I forget how to use my camera on that day? The Hudson River or Shawangunk ridge wouldn’t care about that, but a bride and groom surely would. Needless to say, I was a bit nervous. Any worries I had faded away when I showed up at the Adam’s (the groom) house to do all the pre-ceremony shots. Adam, his brothers and friends were super relaxed and ready to enjoy the day, which put me at ease. We got a bunch of great candids inside and then headed out back for some fun posed shots. After that it was off to the wedding. The day flew by as I grabbed shots of the family, the wedding party and all the little details I could. Nick put up a great post over on Candeo Photo with a handful of shots (I think the sunburst kiss is one of my favorites!) and some words about the day. Below you’ll find a few of my favorites from the day. Thanks again to Nick for the opportunity to second shoot, and I can wait to see Candeo Photo shooting my sister’s wedding in a couple months!
