John and Alyssa's Wedding
Saturday, April 21, 2012
As I mentioned a few days ago, I shot my first wedding last week! I swore I would never shoot a wedding but it was for one of my best friend's little sister and I was able to co-shoot it with another best friend, Meghan, who's a fabulous photog and she has shot a few weddings so I felt more comfortable shooting along side her. I took hundreds of photos and have only edited a fraction of them, but a lot of people have been leaving me comments asking to see some, so here are a few!
As you can imagine, weddings are challenging to shoot! If the light's bad or people are in the way, there isn't much you can do about it! You have to work with what's in front of you. Meghan and I split up a lot and covered different things, so if you think I'm missing something important it's probably either on Meghan's camera or I haven't edited yet! I also haven't edited any reception photos yet, these are just some of the photos that have popped out to me so far. Ok, enough disclaimers? Here are a few pics:











I'm not sure weddings are something I'll get into, they just don't really feel like my forte, but it was definitely a learning experience! And Meghan and I had so much fun shooting together, we threw together a blog called MegJay Photography to post pictures from events we shoot together! When she posts her shots from the wedding I'll share the link so you can her shots!

This is very different from shooting in the nature, but both need creativity.
I love what you have done.
Wow! You did a fantastic job on these shots. Looking forward to seeing more wedding shoots in the future.
Can't believe this is your first wedding... AMAZING! Every shot tells such a story, & has such emotion. High-5 you!
P/S LOVE her ring!
Beautiful!!! <3
Really lovely! Congrats!
Visiting from Rebecca Coopers site. I think you captured wonderful portraits which is difficult to do. Good for you on trying something new!
They look like a lovely couple.
Great job, Jaymi! I admire your courage -- and love the results.
Thank you for sharing at Your Sunday Best this week. xoxo

Not that I am at all surprised- these are beautiful Jaymi!! I knew these would be great!

I love everything about your photography, bright, cheerful, your perspectives, poses and dof. :0) Ok, I will stop gushing, I know this was a happy bride when she received these though!!! I cannot believe this was your first and I would bet it won't be your last!!! They are breathtaking... ok, I'll really stop now!!
Lovely! You did a great job, I am sure the bride and groom LOVE these :)

I think you did a wonderful job! The thought of doing a wedding terrifies me!
Lovely images! Doing wedding photography can surely be nerve-wracking, but you've done a wonderful job.
This is the only wedding I've done and it was rather impromptu:

Well Jaymi, these are stunning and you did a fabulous job. I've never done a shoot with anyone much less a wedding - I would have to see the wizard for some c-c-courage! lol
Fabulous! I think weddings might be your forte, even if you claim it isn't so. :) These are seriously fantastic! And I love their color scheme.
wow. i think you did a great job!!
Your pictures turned out gorgeous!! I'm sure the bride and groom will love them!!
Btw, Jaymi... super honored you joined our challenge!! The handsome lad in the glasses pic is perfect!
Looks like you did a splendid job! Not sure I would want to shoot weddings either (never done it), but these photos sure look good.
Great work, they both look fantastic and will be so happy with these captured memories! :-)
You should do it again..! :-)
You did a great job though. ;)
These are fantastic! I do not think it is possible for you to take a bad picture. Nice job. Congrats!
I find this wedding as elegant. I like those roses. Congratulations to the new couple. I am so happy for them. I also liked the photos. They are so lovely.
really, your first?! You definitely can't tell, they came out great!
Wow, these are amazing! Great job! I LOVE that little guy and his glasses. What a heart-breaker!
These are great! If these were my wedding photos, I would be very happy with them! I really love the first shot of the ring.
well it looks like your forte, I wish you were here to do my wedding next year!
Gorgeous shots! My favorite are those detail shots of the bouquet and boutonniere.
Gorgeous photos of the bride and groom! Looks like it was a beautiful day. :-)
Lovely couple and a nice wedding..

You did a great job! I love weddings, but they are stressful! Have a lovely week.
These are just stunning girl! :)
Really great captures of moments in time that I'm sure they'll cherish.
These came out fabulous; you did an excellent job :o)
That's why I love wedding photography because I'd met a lot of people.
An adventure is never an adventure when it's happening. Challenging experiences need time to ferment,
and an adventure is simply physical and emotional discomfort
recollected in tranquility.
