shooting a wedding with [b]ecker

Ok, so I got home from Newport, RI a few hours ago and have been looking through and processing some images from the wedding I shot with [b]ecker yesterday. I don’t even really know where to begin. I shot alongside Leah Haydock, a fellow member of The [B] School.

I never would have thought that I’d be able to learn so much from just hanging out with someone for a few hours and watching them work. First, I was kind of nervous as I was putting tremendous pressure on myself to perform flawlessly. Within the first 5 minutes of meetin [b]ecker, he told us both to relax and have fun, no pressure. That took some of the pressure off, but let’s face it… when you’re shooting alongside someone who is as well-known and established as [b]ecker, you want to bring your ‘A game’.

Kelley and Larry, the bride and groom, had their wedding at Saint Augustin’s Church in Newport and the reception was held at Belle Mer. The bride, Kelley, was one of the dancers on the Lord of the Dance tour. Get this – the best man of the groom was Bill Burton the Deputy White House Press Secretary, whose wedding [b]ecker shot 2 years ago. On top of that, the wedding band had performed at Barack Obama’s Inauguration Ball. How freaking awesome was this wedding?

Ok, enough of my rambling… on to the pictures!

Leah Haydock - Ahhh, Inku – you took the words right out of my mouth – I learnt so much from Becker too and it was so cool to meet you. I’m looking at your blog images and I’m loving them – and I’ve nervous to post mine…:-)
