The day before the wedding we attended last weekend in New Orleans, I got a call asking if I wanted to shoot pictures of the girls in the bridal party getting ready for their Big Event.
Gulp–that’s a lot of pressure. But always up for a photo adventure, my daughter Tara and I had an impromptu photo shoot while Devon (my other daughter) and the rest of the girls primped and prepped.
What fun we had! Tara also has a very artistic eye, so we took turns acting as assistant, shooting the girls and still lifes of the flowers, the dresses, the house. We tested lighting and aperture settings, and I explained some of the technical adjustments you can make with the DSLR.
What fun we had! So, take on that new challenge presented to you. You never know what you might learn, and hopefully the experience will exceed your expectations.
I will send Alexie and Will–the new couple–the photos this week. But, here is a sneak peek of a few that I think came out well. Enjoy.
