Ed Ie's Photo Corner

I have to say that this past Sunday's shoot was quite an experience for me.  First of all though, I was very excited to work with my wife doing this wedding.  We both learned a lot that day and have a totally larger respect for wedding photographers.  It's tough stuff to say the least!  Sheesh!  But it was FUN!

I'm very thankful to Haily and Lee for allowing me to capture their ceremony.  Haily has been my adopted little sister...more so like she adopted me as her big brother back in college. Hahaha!  She's quite the joyous woman. :) It was so nice to see that she has met a guy like Lee.  He's definitely one kind man that I know will be a great partner for life for Haily.  I wish you guys the best!  Much love to you both and blessings always.

Some key learnings for me coming out of the shoot:  I learned a lot about myself and what it really takes to be specifically a wedding photographer.  It takes lots of preparation, details, and communication. Bring spare CF cards and get there earlier in the day to scout the area.  Taking note of possible places to stand all to which will enable myself to capture the vision.  I can only get better from here on out...and I'm so happy about that! Trials bring out the best in us.  I'm yearning to learn so much more.

I have a lot of gratitude towards God for providing me with opportunities to shoot with other photographers, having friends allowing me to capture their day, and leading me to workshops that have truly inspired me.  Thank you Jesus!  I'm looking forward to more of it. :)

Anyways, here's two pictures of the lovely couple and their bridal party.  I'll post more on my facebook or Flickr.  Enjoy!
