I had the pleasure of second shooting a wedding for Charo Photo, Wilmington, NC. Also helping out with the wedding coverage were Allegra’s Studio of Lynchburg, VA and Paige Buchbinder of Richmond, VA. I’d never worked as a second shooter before but it was really fun. Obviously you’re under a little less stress to get the “safe” shots but the really great thing is to watch other professional photographer’s in action… and one thing for sure, these three ladies know how to shoot some great images!
My introduction to second shooting wasn’t my only first for this job. It was also the first time I’ve photographed a traditional Indian Hindu wedding! The colors, sounds and smells were simply amazing! It was a wonderful expereince to say the least. The rehearsal dinner, prayers and mehndi were held at the home of the bride’s parents in Richmond, VA Friday evening. The wedding ceremony took place the next day at the Westover Plantation, a James River plantation.
I could easily post 25, 50 or 75 images from this event, but I’m trying to control myself. The following are a few of my favorites, though my favorites list contains many, many more! Hope you enjoy.
