Amanda and Scott’s wedding

Leave a comment

This weekend I went to Elm Springs to cover Amanda and Scott’s wedding. I got to do their engagement portraits this spring, and it is always easier if you have been able to work with a couple before the wedding. It makes everyone a little more relaxed on the day of the wedding. The ceremony was in the newer sanctuary at Elm Springs United Methodist. But the old brick building which sits on the same lot has a very charming exterior, so that’s where we decided to do the bride and groom portraits.

One of the archways at the old church. I like how the archway and the light coming in from behind frames the couple.

The image below was the last one I took before I left. I was actually walking towards the exit with an arm-full of camera gear and saw the bride walking down the hallway to go change out of her dress. Luckily the camera was still around my neck so I held the camera up one-handed and took the shot.
