One Thing I've Learned From Assistant Shooting Weddings

Sunday, December 13, 2009 | |

I've been thinking about what I've learned over the past year, and one thing keeps coming up. But first, a word of thanks.
My friend, and fellow assistant of Photogen Inc., Cadence Cornelius, asked me not long ago if I could assist her in photographing one of her weddings. I was thrilled! I have such amazing friends in this industry and I am given so many opportunities to grow in my craft. I can't wait for the days to come when I will be able to give back. Thanks for this opportunity Cadence!
This week I looked over the work I have done this year. I noticed one thing I am continually drawn to as a second shooter is details. I don't just mean pictures of the rings, the cake, and the bouquet. I mean the quiet moments that pass the main photographer by as they are focused on getting all the shots on the "checklist". I love looking for these moments, I hope I continue to develop an awareness of them as they happen at weddings and throughout life.



I love Cadence, and working with her is so much fun. I can hardly wait for WPPI this year in Vegas.
P.S. I have been trying some new editing techniques. If you are a follower of mine, let me know what you think. I'm pretty pleased with these overall. But I'm definitely excited to receive critique and grow.
