wedding firsts

A couple of weeks ago I was the photographer for a wedding. I was pretty nervous when they asked me and even up to the day, but when it all started happening it went pretty smoothly. I will say it didn't go perfect, and I learned quite a few things from it. So I was grateful for the opportunity, but also felt bad that they had to be my first. BUT, someone has to be your first right?

The couple was a beautiful couple and very photogenic, so it made my job even that much easier.

So here are some of my favorites, and I am showing you also, so that you may give me tips and pointers and criticism of any kind. Please, and thank you.

I really like both 

 The ceremony was here in Papillion at the brides parents house, and where they lived made me long for my home where I grew up in Huntsville. Out in the boonies. Nothing better.

This was her one request, sunset pictures. This one was taken probably 10 mins or so before the next ones. 

 While driving up to their house, on a dirt road, there was this little "corn shed" off on the side of the road. And I guess you could say, that this was my one request.

 So there you go. Lessons learned: make sure you are in the right shooting mode, make sure your lens and camera is free from debris from cleaning it earlier, and watch where the bride is holding her bouquet. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. :)
