I&#8217;d never worked as a second shooter before but it was really fun.  Obviously you&#8217;re under a little less stress to get the &#8220;safe&#8221; shots but the really great thing is to watch other professional photographer&#8217;s in action&#8230; and one thing for sure, these three ladies know how to shoot some great images! <\/p>\n<p>My introduction to second shooting wasn&#8217;t my only first for this job.  It was also the first time I&#8217;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&#8217;s parents in Richmond, VA Friday evening.  The wedding ceremony took place the next day at the Westover Plantation, a James River plantation. <\/p>\n<p>I could easily post 25, 50 or 75 images from this event, but I&#8217;m trying to control myself.  The following are a few of my favorites, though my favorites list contains many, many more!  Hope you enjoy. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/rddeckerphotography.com\/4Charo\/4Charo10.jpg\" alt=\"Mehndi\" width=\"350\" height=\"234\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/rddeckerphotography.com\/4Charo\/4Charo11.jpg\" alt=\"Mehndi aka Henna Tattoo\" width=\"350\" height=\"234\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/rddeckerphotography.com\/4Charo\/4Charo12.jpg\" alt=\"A skit at the recption\" width=\"234\" height=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/rddeckerphotography.com\/4Charo\/4Charo13.jpg\" alt=\"Handsome Indian Gentlemen\" width=\"350\" height=\"234\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/rddeckerphotography.com\/4Charo\/4Charo06.jpg\" alt=\"Lovely Hindu Ladies\" width=\"350\" height=\"234\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/rddeckerphotography.com\/4Charo\/4Charo07.jpg\" alt=\"In depth discussion.\" width=\"350\" height=\"234\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/rddeckerphotography.com\/4Charo\/4Charo08.jpg\" alt=\"Lovely Indian Bride\" width=\"234\" height=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/rddeckerphotography.com\/4Charo\/4Charo09.jpg\" alt=\"Hindu Wedding Ceremony\"width=\"350\" height=\"234\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/rddeckerphotography.com\/4Charo\/4Charo02.jpg\" alt=\"Hindu Bride &#038; Groom\" width=\"234\" height=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/rddeckerphotography.com\/4Charo\/4Charo01.jpg\" alt=\"Symbolism and Color on the dance floor \"width=\"350\" height=\"234\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/rddeckerphotography.com\/4Charo\/4Charo03b.jpg\" alt=\"The Wedding Singers\" width=\"350\" height=\"234\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/rddeckerphotography.com\/4Charo\/4Charo04.jpg\" alt=\"The First Dance\"width=\"234\" height=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/rddeckerphotography.com\/4Charo\/4Charo05.jpg\" alt=\"Let em eat cake\" width=\"350\" height=\"234\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had the pleasure of second shooting a wedding for Charo Photo, Wilmington, NC.
