Photos from Erica and Chris’ Wedding Reception
My friends Erica and Chris got married near the end of May and I brought my camera along for their reception and took a few shots. I wasn’t the official photographer or anything — just some guy that brought his camera along to try his hand at a few shots.
Still, even though I’m pleased with how things turned out overall, I do regret that I wasn’t able to salvage any shots of Erica or Chris :(. As luck would have it, either the lighting was working against me during those shots, or other guests unknowingly ended up stepping into the frame at the time. D'oh!
As I did with my trip down to SXSW, I once again rented Canon’s 17-55mm f/2.8 IS lens. That lens hasn’t let me down yet and I probably ought to buy it outright rather than simply stuffing the pockets of the lens-rental companies ;). (All kidding aside, lensrentals.com came through for me yet again and their service has been great.)
I’m sorry that we didn’t get to chat with you more. It’s hard being the center of the celebration, but a blessing at the same time. Next time we’re in Texas, there will have to be a more laid back get together so we can talk more.
By the way, the pictures you posted are lovely, lovely!
I had a great time, Erica, and I’m so happy for you and Chris. And, thanks also for your compliments on the shots — you’re very kind.
