Liz + James | Lexington, Virginia Wedding Photographer

I had the pleasure once again on Saturday to assist Lauren at an absolutely stunning Lexington wedding that I successfully drove to all by myself without getting lost! Hallelujah!!! Haha. The wedding took place at Lee Chapel on the Washington and Lee campus and what with the gorgeous red-headed bride and Scottish, kilt-wearing groom, I'd say everything was absolutely perfect.

As a second shooter, I've really enjoyed being able to step back, let Lauren shoot, and watch for little moments that she wouldn't possibly be able to capture as the main photographer. It's hard because I want to have shots where the bride is looking at me but it's just as fun to get those candid pictures from the side. Different angles are so necessary!

I have already learned so much about the layout of a wedding day, how to use off-camera flash, how to pose better, and what lenses are good for different parts of the day. It really is amazing what hands-on experience can do for you. I have watched videos of people shooting weddings and read hundreds of blogs about shooting weddings but nothing quite measures up to actually being there and learning from trial and error. I know I say this a lot but I really am blessed and I cannot thank Lauren and Sera enough for allowing me to learn from them. I'm having an absolute blast. :)

But now, here are my pictures! I am terrible at narrowing down images but hopefully you won't mind. :)

















 Liz's gorgeous sister. Love that red hair!
