I stepped outside of my comfort zone a bit and agreed to shoot my friend’s wedding and reception last month in New Jersey. Normally, weddings are not my thing- I believe that a good wedding photographer needs to get (at least) a few dozen weddings under their belt before they really start producing original, creative images that capture the event. What has probably kept me from getting into “wedding photographer” mode, is the majority of wedding photographers that I know simply have a routine for each wedding and can do it in their sleep- which doesn’t really appeal to me since personally, photography is more a creative outlet than profit center. I also cringe at the pressure…knowing that if I miss a shot, I could possibly be lynched by the bride.

Here are a few shots from the wedding; and if you’re interested in seeing more of the wedding photos, I’ve posted some on my facebook page.
