Julia and JD, Married! | Boston Wedding Photographer

Second shooting is great – it’s the best way for wedding photographers to get a start, and even though now I usually book weddings as the primary photog, a second shooting opportunity is really fun for me to experiment with more angles and techniques without the pressure of being the primary photog, and I get to focus a lot more on capturing candid moments and details whereas the primary photog might have to do the posed portraits and other obligatory photos. And the absolutely best part – not having to edit all the hundreds of images afterwards! I’ve begun to offer second shooter options with my wedding packages as well, some of them will soon be featured in 2010 weddings =)

I recently second shot for Brett Alison Photography at a fun wedding down in Cape Cod. I’m actually going to be Brett’s wedding photographer later this year, so it was really cool getting to work with her and learn more about her. I’m so honored to have been selected as her wedding photog, being a photog’s photog is possibly the best compliment ever!

Typically a second shooter takes getting ready photos with the groom’s side while the primary is with the bride’s side. The groom and his friends were very laidback, catching up on college football. Definitely not the chaos you see in the bridal suite!

JD recited a couple things not to forget when leaving: the programs and the rings! Good thing he remembered!

This is one of my FAV images from the day. His song was really sweet

I love this moment – the minister told Julia and JD to turn around and see how so many of their families and friends had come to see them get married

There were some tears too

If you guys know me personally… you may know that I *love* oysters. I’m drooling just looking at this photo

The whole wedding had a green / blue beach feel to it. The favors were CDs with a large shell tied to the cover

The reception was held at the Orleans Yacht Club in Brewster, MA

They danced as they entered the reception

Here’s Brett doing a random group shot!

I have a big soft spot in my heart for this capture of the father-daughter dance. I love seeing the father so happy!
