Post My first wedding photoshoot...Finally!

Sarah & Michael Wedding-101

Sarah & Michael Wedding-286

Here are some shots from the wedding I shot last week in Hawaii. It was my first time there, and it was my first time shooting wedding. Everything went well, the bride didn't run away and the groom didn't freak out. It was a wonderful wedding.

So, I learned that 8 hours of shooting pictures could be really tiring. I crashed right when I got back to the hotel and upload all the pictures to my computer. There are a lot more pictures, and I will post them on flickr later. I was sad and glad at the same time. I was sad, because I had so much fun taking pictures. I was glad, because I was really tired at the end.

I hope you like the pictures, and thoughts/comments are more than welcome.

Wow, awesome photos, they certainly look like you've done it plenty of times before.

Amazing work! I know I am just starting out in the photography world, but your photostream blew me away!! I really enjoyed looking at the wedding pictures! They should be so happy with the work that you did:-)

Great shots! I tried my first wedding photoshoot a couple of weeks back & I can relate to your experience of how exhausting it is... my tennis elbow got worse after the wedding..LOL! Fortunately, I was just the unofficial photographer... my pics are not worth posting.. I guess I need more practice in taking photos of people..

Thank you, it was a lot of fun. I have done couple of engagement pictures, but that was my first time with real wedding. It was really challenging.

There was another photographer there, but I didn't know/meet her until the wedding date. It's nice to have another pair of eyes to capture something I might have missed.
