Long Days, Dual Ceremonies
August 3rd, 2008Two posts in one day!
Yesterday Leigh and I photographed a dual ceremony downtown Charleston at the William Aiken House. We started at 7:30am and finished up last night around 11:30pm. Can you say exhausted?! The first ceremony was a traditional Indian ceremony and the second a Christian one. Both were beautiful, and I’m very happy to have had the opportunity to photograph them. Anyway, I’ve only begun to scratch the surface of these photos, but wanted to share one of them that stood out to me.
The second photo is one that Leigh snapped of me during a tripod plate change while she was holding my camera. I usually cringe at photos of myself and even though I’m a bit self conscious, this is one I can live with. One benefit to being a photographer is that your photographer friends make better better photos of you than you are usually capable of (see some of my old attempts at self portraits…they usually involve me jumping or something stupid as not to feel too vain).
I hope to post a whole bunch from this wedding soon.


Off to the Apple store!
