Wedding Done and Done!

The wedding madness has passed and I actually feel so sad that there is not anything for me to go crazy over. It gave me "purpose." Oh but its nice not to worry anymore. But the final outcome was absolutely fabulous. The wedding went off with out a hitch.

The day was filled with waiting around and anticipation for the wedding to begin. As we sat around downing bottle after bottle of champagne we kept the conversation light so to keep the bride calm as she got ready.
I had to sneak a peak and check out what the room looked like for the reception. It looked amazing with the tons of orchids that were the centerpieces. I was really proud to see my work displayed at my best friend's wedding. The menus came out way better then I ever thought they would and the centerpieces.

Once the wedding began and we were all ready to go the wait just to get out to the ceremony seemed like forever. That and my six inch heels were making it seem longer than needed but I loved every minute of it. It was one of the most romantic ceremony I have ever been too.

Since I was in the wedding I was not able to do the photography during the wedding but I was able to take some shots before. Once I was able to go over these shots of the bridal photography I kind of discovered a new avenue I would like to go down with my wedding photography. There is a new trend of boudoir photography that is sexy and romantic. But it is mostly done in studio as portrait photography. I think that this type of photography would be great during the anticipation portion of the wedding. This time is the time where the bride will feel their most beautiful throughout the entire day. So taking the time to photograph the bride in such a beautiful and sexy manner is to capture what she offers the man she is marrying. Creating drama in the photography is what I want to strive for through lighting and poses. I definitely will be exploring this idea much more as I photograph more weddings.
