My friend Mark Lopez asked that I be his second photographer at a beach wedding. Of course, I jumped at the chance and the challenge.
The day started out quite a bit overcast, but for photographers it’s ideal–there are no harsh shadows to deal with. It makes shooting a lot faster and I feel like I can get a bit more creative without having to make constant adjustments. Weddings on the beach are beautiful, but there certain challenges to shooting on a location without readily available to climb. Mark thought ahead and brought a ladder for just this purpose and boy did it help. We were able to get shots of the seating area with it was used for some larger group shots. However, one thing to consider, especially on location is the need for an assistant. I had none this time, but I know at my next big event I won’t be caught without one.
