Teaser: My First Solo Wedding!

So much to say, and this is just the teaser. Daniel and Dayna were brave enough to book with me, even though this was my FIRST SOLO WEDDING EVER. Awww yeah! I feel like I’ve climbed a huge mountain, and it’s only going to keep getting better from here. Booking the first wedding is usually incredibly difficult because everyone wants to see your past work, and I only had a few second shooting gigs under my belt. Daniel and Dayna decided to take a chance on me, and they even flew me all the way out to El Paso to do it. Needless to say, I love them.

Teasers are supposed to be both short on words and pictures, so I’ll stop now (except for a few short descriptions because I think photos are always better with commentary), but you can expect to see much more of these two in a few weeks!

Daniel, oh-so-adorably raising his hand when asked by the officiant “Who here is in love?”

A favorite out of the portaits I’ve been able to sort through so far.

I was so worried about the height difference but when Dayna stands on her tippy-toes their lips meet just perfectly!

These two (and the rest of their guests!) were on the dance floor all night long!

July 20, 2009 - 5:18 am Lynn - yay jenna!! these are just so fantastic! You are becoming an amazing photographer in such a short time. I'm sure the happy couple will LOVE these.

July 20, 2009 - 7:46 am Lacey - Jenna, they look great! Did you use flash at the reception? I heard (read) you say something about pocketwizards on twitter, I was just wondering. Congrats on the first wedding! That was great that they trusted you and flew you there!!

July 20, 2009 - 8:33 am Yelena R. - These are amazing Jenna! Congrats on doing your first solo wedding, I'm pretty sure your clients will not be disappointed! The first shot is just stunning!

July 20, 2009 - 10:35 am Meghan - That first shot is amazing! My second favorite shot is the group shot, you get to see a little bit of the personality of each Bridesmaid and Groomsmen. That's one you'll probably see on their wall. Wish you could have shot my wedding, if you're ever in Sonoma drop me a line.

July 20, 2009 - 10:39 am Allison - Jenna! They look SO great! I love that first one of the bride. Good job!

July 20, 2009 - 10:40 am MollyMosby - Oh. My. Goodness. Those are absolutely STUNNING! Seriously. When I saw your photos from Mr & Mrs Lemonaids wedding I thought "Wow, that girls got potential" but these shots are wayyy past potential. Congratulations!

July 20, 2009 - 10:45 am Katie - Beautiful, as always! Can't wait to see the rest of these.

It looks like you nailed a lot of different lighting scenarios and captured emotion and movement. I would say you succeeded 100% and are on your way to success!! I am very proud of you, internet friend! ;)
