1st wedding ever!

Yesterday I figured out that if I get booked to photograph weddings every saturday for a month, I'm giong to be exhausted for an entire month. I had the priveledge of helping out a classmate yesterday shoot a wedding he had booked quite awhile back. His regular second shooter accidentaly double booked himself and was unable to help out this weekend, so my classmate asked me to help. I was a little wary at first, but I realized that I really need to start getting the experience if I'm ever going to do weddings for a living so I figured it would be better to do one now while working with someone experienced rather than try to figure it out on my own. It was actually really really fun! It was stressful of course because you have to make sure you catch all the key shots because they won't happen again. Anyways, I'll have to upload a few of my shots to show you guys. I think some of them turned out really well, especially for it being my first wedding ever. He actually asked if I would be interested in helping him out with future weddings, even after I move back to GP, and he'd pay the travel. Pretty sweet deal! I'm also going to get the chance to do work experience for a week with a lady in GP at the end of October. I'm looking forward to that. She actually graduated from NAIT awhile back, so it'll be interesting to shadow underneath her for awhile.
