I took some candid pictures of a mother and her sons.
When I took them to her I offered to take some more, formal family pictures, if she would like.
She indicated she might consider taking me up on my offer.
A day or two later she called and said she was interested in accepting my offer.
She said she was getting married on Saturday and wondered if I would photograph her wedding. She said that she had a family member with a point and shoot camera that would be there but she really liked the quality of the pictures I had given her and hoped I'd oblige.
I reluctantly said I would help her out. This is a hobby. I am an amateur with no low light experience, which is exactly what I found when I arrived at the appointed hour.
I turned to my husband who has all the faith in the world in me, (he has always believed that I can turn straw into gold) and said, "What am I going to do?' He calmly said, "Learn from it."
I did learn.
Lesson 1: Act like you know what you are doing even if you don't have a clue...........
everyone doesn't need to be in a panic.
Lesson 2: Go with what you know and if that isn't enough use Auto.
Lesson 3: Keep shooting with the intent that you'll actually get something of interest.

| Lesson 4: Think more about making the bride happy than your fear of failure. |

| Lesson 5: With a prayer in your heart, divine intervention and someone who believes in you, total disaster can be averted. |

You take gorgeous pictures! You have nothing to be afraid of you are incredibly talented! Thank you for the beautiful images.
These photos are gorgeous. I absolutely love the bokeh lights and that image of the rings together is glorious. This looks professional level to me.
