So, I received a job at Pinnacle Portraits photography studio this summer. I work with amazing people, and am one of only two photographers who shoot there. They have a few guest photographers come in to help out once in awhile. I am learning the ropes and really soaking up all the information and how I can apply it to my art work. Luckily they teach a lot THROUGH the camera and not through their editing programs, like a lot of wedding photography places do now. I was lucky enough to shoot my first wedding yesterday. I was so so nervous, because I have never had to make "art" for someone else. I have always shot for my own personal growth. However, luckily, I had the most wonderful couple to work with. They were so easy and everything I suggested, they were all for. I realized I was still growing and creating artwork. They were just going to be the reciepients of it, and I was getting paid. They were young (only 22) and were all about my crazy and sweet ideas. It was an absolute joy to do their wedding. I cannot say that I have the best "shot" per say, for standard wedding photography-but that is why I was hired...I was told they wanted me because of my artistic eye, instead of my knowledge of studio lighting and flash photography. I hope that this first time, helps convince them that I am a good resource. So here are some of my recent work...
PS. These are not edited yet.
Also: Here is the website, in case you want to check it out, of the studio I work for AND a website of a wedding photographer in the area that I am going to be learning from... I am really excited and I really like her work.

Hey Mary - I think these photos are a great start and I'm really glad that you found a job in photography :). The lighting situations that you found are just beautiful for these wedding pics, especially in the 3rd photo with the bouquet and ring. Do you know what kind of flowers they are, by the way?
