So as you can guess I'm sitting at the computer with photoshop open and having the usual crisis of confidence. Zack Arias described it beautifully in a clip I am going to embed in the next post, but in the meantime I'll just say (again) how hard it is to look hard and objectively at your own work as I've had to do lately (in the process of building a new website)... What am I getting around to? Well I thought it might be nice to take a break and post some photos I really love. No, not because of any great skill on my part, simply because it was the most stylish and lovely wedding (the sort where frankly it's pretty hard for a photographer to fail) of two really nice people. Did I mention that Lisa sent me pineapple lumps and beautiful organic coffee? Really I should have paid them... here's some more...

yes, everyone was crying, actually Chad was crying too. But I won't post those... beautiful emotion...ok, I was crying too, I'm terrible like that. A wedding should be as good as a blockbuster movie no? I think it's a real privilege when people allow me to be their wedding photographer...
OK I'll stop now... no, one more, just to show the beautiful reception set up between the pool and the sea, influenced by Lisa's design skills...
Congratulations again Chad and Lisa, what a beautiful day...
(PS a note on the last photo... I took along my 8 year old to act as a voice operated light stand while I did some shots of the reception set up. It didn't work as well as it should have. In this photo I had to crop/clone him out. He has walked into the frame with the sb800 and pointed it at his own face which really ISN"T big enough or white enough to act as a reflector! the terrible thing was I didn't notice this until I downloaded these shots...but there's enough and they're fine)
Stunning Meg! I love that you captured the reality of a wedding day, the laughter, joy tears, natural moments. Wedding Days are all about memories and stories and these are exactly that. Gorgeous!
