Casey and Tim’s Annapolis wedding (as a guest)

Last weekend, I attended my first wedding as a guest since before I started doing wedding photography. I thought it would be nice to finally be at a wedding and not have to work, but it was actually really hard. While I was sitting in the pew, all I wanted to do was be in the middle of the aisle getting the best angles. I was always watching the photographer or wondering where he was. It was surprisingly stressful. (Although, I saw some of his photos on his blog and the photos are great!) But despite that I had so much fun. The food was delicious, and the band was AMAZING. Go Go Gadjet is a cover band that doesn’t usually do weddings, so basically we were all at a private concert. It was a really young crowd so everyone was dancing the whole night and having a blast. It was so nice to see my Godmother’s kids, Casey included, that I haven’t seen in years and meet some new people. Congrats Casey and Tim!

All I had with me was my D80, and since I couldn’t get the best angles I just decided to enjoy myself for the weekend and not take that many photo. Here are the few that I did get though.

This was the 1st time I flew since I went to Disney World in 1996. I couldn’t hear for 3 hours after the flight, and my ears are still periodically un-popping. I’d officially rather drive!
