There’s a first time for everything. And some things are meant to be once in a lifetime - like a wedding! That is, if it’s your own wedding. Luckily there’s no limit to photographing weddings. I just had my first time, and I liked it!

The wedding in question was of Reidar and Marion, who were united in marriage on the 6th of March of 2009.

As I never experienced any wedding up close, let alone photographing one, I had no idea what to expect. Well, I knew about that “Yes, I do”-part and such. But if I hadn’t got the day schedule up front, I would be lost in the dark! As it turned out, a select group got together at the bride’s mom’s house to welcome the groom when he came to pick her up. A short drive got us to municipal wedding location ‘De Burgh’ in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Over there the special civil servant did an introductory story with anecdotes of the couple and then they got married by doing that “Yes, I do” thing right. A few formal signatures and congratulations of the direct family later, out they went to be celebrated as newly weds by the rest of the guests.

All that time, I was just simply moving around the room-sidewalk-room-road-room-park (in that order) to shoot pictures of everything that was going on. Easy as that! I guess what I like best about wedding photography after this first try, is that the genuine emotion of all the people make for a such a rewarding ‘target’.

Curious about the results? I published a selection of 16 pictures here.
