Day 181

shot another wedding today.  it was so low key and cruisy, which made it great fun to shoot.  i met angie, the bride, during my first year of tech here in chc.  she looked after the scholarship applications etc (of which i was madly applying for as many as possible).  we hit it off straight away and always have plenty to talk about having a common interest in anthropology! 
ang had spoken to me earlier in the year about possibly doing her wedding, but me being me, had shied away from it....lack of confidence etc etc.  then a a few days after c&m's wedding ang contacted me about shooting her and andrew's wedding.  they'd decided sort of last minute to get a photographer.  luckily i was feeling great after having just shot the other wedding and so said yes.  so glad i did!
it was a beautiful sunny albeit windy day, which meant no going up into the hills for photos, besides ang was running pretty late.  so we just went to a few spots we'd found in sumner and had fun.  that was the aim of the day, and again, a&a had asked for casual photos! have a sneak peek at a few here.  we also included a trip to the pub too, especially as it was prior to the ceremony.....figured it would help relax them a little too....

Day 147

jury is still out as to whether i like weddings or not. whether it's just i'm not a partier, or the fact that all my friends are 'stand-alone' friends, so whenever i go to one i don't really know anyone else. today's one had added pressure, being the photographer, the first 'wedding' i've shot to boot.
once again it was not a pleasant morning for boy(who by the way was helping me shoot the day's events). i was foul!! hmmm, need to work on that. finally decided what to wear, thank goodness. it helped that it was a lovely day out.
we finally got there, a little late, but then they were running late anyway - so no worries!
we went off and did our thing, and after the first few shots it was sweet as. well i'm never happy with my work, so it was as sweet as good be with my stupid standards. the ceremony was a little harder, just due to positioning etc. but we had it covered with the two of us. we also decided to use my blackboard & get the guest's to write a note and then snap them.


some of my fav snaps of the day are on my stuff about me blog. check it out.
