     Recently I was invited to be the photographer at a wedding (thanks Allie!). Since I was looking to expand my skill set, build my portfolio, and get some experience shooting weddings and portraits, I agreed to the offer. The wedding wasn’t the traditional wedding and was heavily influenced by Indian and Persian cultures. Also, the bride and groom were both yoga instructors so they incorporated those aspects into their wedding.
     It was a great experience and I learned many valuable photographic lessons. The room was lit by natural light so as the morning went on it became a challenge to get the correct light and accurately reflect colors and hues. The portrait shots were also a good learning experience and I realized how hard it is to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time without blinking. Thank you digital camera!
     My style of photography is to capture candid moments of smiles, touches, and laughs. I strive to capture the emotions of joy and the overall feel of the day through small, slight, quickly passing moments instead of poses and manufactured shots.
