Second Shooting a Wedding: 09/01/12

This was my second time second-shooting a wedding but it could not have been any more different than the first. It was much more fast paced and more controlled as to where and when we had to be places. The day was cloudy, raining, and overcast so most of the images were taken inside and they images turned out great. I used my Speedlite almost the whole time bouncing it off the ceilings or walls to help light the spaces.

Carrie and Jeff's ceremony and the reception took place at the Four Seasons in Downtown Saint Louis. My new boss/lead photographer, Karen, was great to work with and taught me alot of what went into shooting a large wedding and wedding party.  It was my job to focus on taking pictures of the groom and his men before the ceremony,to walk around and capture the day, and to complement her photos but not get in her way.  Here are some of my favorites:
