My first wedding "_"

Shot my first wedding today... it's some serious stuff lol.  I was lucky because I got to start off shooting a friends wedding but I wasn't quite aware of how much running I'd be doing.  I couldn't figure out who was more stressed out, me, the bride or the brides mom.  I shot around 600 or 700 shots at the event which started for me at 2:00 and I got to leave at 8:00.  I arrived at 2 with the bride to get all those great shots of her getting her hair done although those shots are the least attractive ones of a bride who is stressed about the upcoming life changing event.  I found shooting the groom, groomsmen and brides maids the most fun although it seems women in general become more stressed than men when concerned with weddings.  Shooting the groom and groomsmen was what made it fun and less stressful, they are stress free just having a good time helping each other with their ties and such, CAUSE IT'S A WEDDING and that's what they are for... good times.  The location that the ceremony was held was on the east side of a large mountain which meant no romantic sunset = /, It also meant bad lighting for me when it became dusk.  I found that I was more prepared for poor lighting than I had though but even so when the sun went down everything became very orange and yucky = ( from the incandescent light reflecting off of the yellowish wooden ceiling.

I think I came out with some decent shots but, truthfully, I haven't even looked through all the images yet, too much school stuff to do that right now.  Gotta get some sleep tonight for a psych test tomorrow, my second of 4... or 5 tests... To bed now!!!
