Richmond Wedding at Tredegar Iron Works

Richmond Film Wedding Photographer

I enjoy photographing weddings so much! The weekends where I don’t have my own wedding booked I will sometimes second shoot for other photographers. This past fall I had the opportunity to second shoot for my friend, Matoli Keel Photography in Richmond, VA. The venue for this lovely wedding was Tredegar Iron Work on the James river.  I also played with some on-camera and off-camera flash at this wedding! You can see that blog post from last week here. But even though it can be fun to play with artificial lighting, my favorite situation (and, I’m my opinion, the prettiest situation) to shoot film is in natural light! And this is why….

And one of my most favorite moments during a wedding day; The First Look. A lot of modern brides and grooms are opting to do a first look for MANY reasons. But from a photographer’s standpoint, I love that I’m able to capture this emotional moment really well… The alternative it to capture this moment as the bride is walking down the aisle which is totally awesome, but I find the photos from a first looks are better. Maybe it’s because I’m free to move about and get different angles… Maybe it’s because I’m able to pick the location with the best light… Maybe it’s because the couple isn’t as stressed out by walking down the aisle in front of lots of family and friends. Whatever the reason is, I always love the first look photos. <3
