Shooting a Wedding

Becoming a professional photographer means doing your best and always learning. After shooting a wedding last week I went through all of my photographs very quickly on my 7d just to get an idea of what I had from the day. It ended up creating such an awesome storyline for the day, plus I've met a lot of other young photographers looking to get into the business and I thought this shows a good idea of what I shoot throughout the day. While I shoot between 1500-2000 photographs - I edit down to about 500-700 photographs for the final results. This video has 1571 photographs - not including the photographs taken by my second photographer! You'll see duplicates, mistakes, and icky faces - all of which are completely unedited - not even a little bit. The only photographs not included in the video are the ones I deleted during the event itself. Keep in mind these were RAW files converted into 720x960 jpegs, transfered into iphoto, loaded into imovie, and exported into a small enough video size that it won't take hours to upload to youtube. This means some awkward compression and it oddly messed with the focus a little bit too. But again, everything is learning - even this video! Keep an eye out for a self-portrait towards the end. I had to run upstairs to grab the garter from their hotel room and decided I would document the frizzy mess I was by the end of the day.

The wedding took place at the Simsbury Inn in Simsbury, Connecticut. It was a gorgeous venue! Extra thanks and congrats to Corinne & Carter who filled the day with love and tons of fun. See the fully edited photographs on www.60bphotography.com in about a week or two!
