Wedding pictures

Last saturday I went to Düsseldorf to celebrate the wedding of friends. It was a wonderful party, beautiful location at the Rhein river. One thing they forgot (or didn't want) was to hire a professional photographer specialized in wedding photography. So I had the chance to take pictures of the party and the newly-wed couple.I was a stopgap, so I was not prepared. I carried my camera around and took pictures, just for me to learn and improve, but then it got serious...

And I think I did it poorly, I didn't expect that I would run into such a situation and now I know: wedding photography is hard work, really. It takes a lot of courage to handle such a responsibility and take pictures of such an important event in two people's life.

So I take my hat off to all the great wedding photographers out there...
