Saturday was my debut and I think it went just fine. The wedding took place in Rossmore (a part of Walnut Creek) at the community clubhouse. Everyone was so nice to me and the bride and groom had such a great time.

I arrived pretty early to scope out the joint and left about 4 hours later completely exhausted. It’s really tough to cover a wedding alone but it definitely helped to have two cameras handy. Thanks, Michelle! The mix of lenses and my flash were awesome and I now know that the two lenses I’ve had on my wishlist for a while are really worth getting after all. I had some challenges such as high noon lighting, teal green walls inside the dressing room, and a non-traditional arrangement of the ceremony but in the end I think I managed to handle it all just fine. By the way, I took this group photo from the second story window. Not bad for a girl with no ladder, eh?! Now it’s time to sit down and sort/edit the photos to my liking. I hope I can get through them all this week.

UPDATE: Photos are done and now ready for viewing.  Password is DAWSON.
