001.Elicia and Mike

On May 23, 2010, I photographed my first wedding as the "official photographer." I was easily the most nervous guy at the event. Luckily Elicia and Mike (and Elicia's mom) are very nice people, and even more luckily, their friend Sue knows how to take charge. Since I had no idea how to handle formal shots, she jumped in and got people arranged for me. I learned a lot over the 11-hour day.

  • "Mothers are supposed to ruin their daughter's wedding shots, aren't they?" I immediately knew I was going to enjoy this day after this.

  • Elicia asked me to explore creativity whenever I could. I loved finding this mirror tunnel. If you look, you can see Elicia's face only once in the series. I wish I had thought to point my flash at just her to make her stand out more.
