Last night I went to a wedding. Beautiful couple, beautiful setting. I learned, however, that I would never make a good wedding photographer. I really don't think it would fun. However, I did learn that I'm starting to develop an eye for things that look like they could be photographed. I do still feel like I gamble with subjects and composition and tell myself that I'll critique it later. I did get some delightful photos though.
Here is my best wedding shot. Being an Irish wedding, I thought it important that I got the hands tied together (but go figure, I didn't get a picture of the kiss or any dances, etc.
My husband, always feels like he has a camera in his face and rarely smiles for the camera..But I GOT ONE!!! --teehee--
Because the wedding was located at a ranch, The Tanque Verde Ranch (where they filmed "Hey Dude"), I had to get some pictures of horses and cacti.
This saguaro has seen better days, but honestly, I think this saguaro is one of the cooler ones out there!
The view from the porch where the wedding was held.
While we were waiting for the wedding to start we were lucky enough to see some hummingbirds. This was my favorite of the 3 or 4 I took.
There were some really neat wood columns for this ranch house. I took these photos with a texture challenge in mind (and I'll add them there as well) in the Light Stalking forums.
Finally, I had some fun in the reception. It was a low lit room, with a very warm feel to it. Here are my results...
So maybe I WOULD like to photograph weddings, but only if I was in charge of details. Good thing I have a day job I'm not quitting anytime soon.
Really incredible shots, Kim. And editing too! I don't think you over did any of them. You did just enough to bring out how beautiful the subject was(even Mike & his gnar-gnar beard)
ReplyDelete: D. I love the wood column one, especially. I don't know....I think you'd do a pretty good job doing wedding photos. Keep it up!
You're the sweetest lime ever!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't do portrait shots very well, which is why wedding shots would be hard for me. But details, I have more time to adjust camera settings, and once I know my camera better and my style of shooting it will be easier over time..hopefully.
