For most of my weddings, I’m hired as a one-gal show. If I do have someone accompany me, it’s in the role of assistant, never a second shooter. That all changed earlier this month when Courtney Reece accompanied me as second shooter to my most recent wedding. You know how people always talk about how they’ll never believe in all those Elvis or alien sightings until, you know, there is ACTUAL DOCUMENTED PROOF they’re really out there? Well, that’s kind of the way I’ve long felt about being a wedding photographer. Until I could see it with my own eyes, it just didn’t seem believable that it was actually me taking all those photographs.
So thanks, Courtney, for giving me that documented proof. 
By the way, don’t ask why I have my flash pointing at that angle for this shot. A) I wasn’t using it at the time and B) it tends to have a mind of its own. Kind of like my body when I’m shooting a wedding and drape it on the ground and on the floor in a million different positions and then wake up the next morning wondering why I can’t move.
