Re: Confessions of a Assistant Wedding Photographer
This sharpen my eyes like an eagle. By adding all details of a person or the house, It gives me a close enough conclusion of the family or the person.
She said, make sure I capture more beautiful moments of Christine - the bride of the day.
Time check is only 07.30,
I have all my shots that is needed and wait for my time to be locked in the room with the bride. The bridesmaid group then invited me to their breakfast. This bungalow had so many rooms for different functions.
We were in one of the entertainment room, The 60” TV was playing ‘The wedding crashers’ movie. Ironic that I mentioned will there be anyone daring enough to do it today?
All the eyes looked at me and smiled, ‘not going to happen’. Christine is our best sister since school. I gather more intel as they tell me more.
Yvonne’s the best wedding planner in the industry, have you not heard Touching Memories Wedding & Party planners. My mouth just opened. This is the creme of the creme of all wedding planners and I was told the lady boss is a bitch to work with.
My limited time with Yvonne tells me otherwise.
Anyways, was joking and chatting with the group to develop a better PR and hopefully get my big break.
Breakfast was finished, I stood up started to clear their cups and plates for the ladies. All commented what a gentleman. Doing this was a norm to me, I said it’s fine.
08.00,
All the bridesmaid went up to the room, asked me together with them for a pre-group photos. As we move up the big staircase, looking at all the baby doll dress sashaying left and right, what a sight. It was a short baby doll dress, hence me being the last to go up had a great view of their legs and with my camera in hand, I just did some candid shots for them. Little did I know some shots came out having a little peek-a-boo upskirt pictures.
Upon reaching the top of the stairs, was a big living area, straight ahead lead to long corridor with lots of doors along it.
Christine’s room was at the end of the corridor, all the girls burst into her room, with my in tow trying to capture any candid moments available. Christine was just beautiful when I walked in seeing her porcelain face with minimal makeup and a nice Audrey Hepburn hairdo. As I walked in further into the room, I noticed Christine is only in her slip as she was going to be changing into her wedding dress soon.
I immediately excused myself not wanting to create any commotion or embarrassment on this big day. She was after all just in a white slip with lace at the breast area. Her nipples were pointy due to the air conditioned room I guess.
I was going to make an about turn to exit the room, when Yvonne and Christine called out to me ‘Where are you going?’
I replied, I heading out for you to get changed and I think I may not be convenient to be here now that you are not dressed yet.
They all replied in unison, we want our pictures taken now. Christine said ‘it’s ok’ I know you will not do anything as referrals from other brides gave good complements about you.
“Wow, I did not know assistant photographers get compliments amongst the brides of my previous assignments”.
