Preston & Laura’s Pink and Grey Wedding // Canton, Ohio

This summer I’ve been a little MIA, so I’m sorry for those of you who have been watching the blog! I promise to be better soon. But the reason that I’ve been busy is that I’ve been shooting a lot of weddings! Some my own, and some second shooting. I’ve been asked by a few photographers who’ve been in need of a fill in second shooter, and I’ve been glad to jump in and help. This particular wedding I was helping out Brittany Michelle Photography.

Second shooting is definitely one of my favorite ways to grow as a photographer as it allows you to take the pressure off and try new things. Which means when it’s time to shoot my own weddings, those shots aren’t new territory and I can venture into my creative side a little more! Win/Win. While I don’t get to know the couples as well, it is still fun to see the little things as a complete stranger. It’s a testament that when you truly love someone, it shows.

The wedding ceremony was in Canton, Ohio at the beautiful St. Stephen Martyr Lutheran Church and the Reception followed at the rustic Skyland Pines Golf Course. I was thoroughly impressed with both of the venues as it was my first time being to either. The second shooter is generally in charge of photographing the groom and his men getting ready. I met up with them at their hotel, and started the day!
