Julie & Travis’ Wedding: Long Beach Museum of Art
I’ve never been to a wedding before, were the number of guests wearing white, out numbered the bride 6 to 1. Julie and Travis celebrated a sweet brunch wedding last weekend at the Long Beach Museum of Art. Travis, the groom, is a pilot in the Navy and wore his dress whites. A few of his military friends also wore the same, and everyone looked sharp! This wedding had a couple of firsts for me, being a morning wedding as well as the first one of the year. For some photographers, shooting in all natural lighting sounds easy because you don’t have to mess with lighting, but I took the opportunity to use a blend of all natural settings as well as fill flash. I think it really helped some of the images pop, especially with the processional sword arch. That might be my new favorite image of the year.
After Julie and Travis saw all of their images, I received a wonderful message from Julie that I’d love to share.
“Thank you so much for everything! It was such a pleasure getting to meet you. I am usually such a disaster and am so awkward in front of a camera and you magically got some amazing shots! You were really, really awesome to work with and I hope that we get the opportunity to work with you again some time. We feel truly blessed and so fortunate to have someone as amazing as you photograph our wedding. The pictures are absolutely amazing. Thank you for all the time you spent with us!” ~Julie & Travis
Yeah, my job is pretty awesome. =)
