Helped with a wedding.
3

A guy I worked with wanted to get into photography so he volunteered to shoot a wedding for a young couple at his church. After he committed himself he started freaking out as the date drew nearer. I offered to tag along. I helped him with the formal images by posing all the groups, and I grabbed some informal candid images to round things out.

Re: Helped with a wedding.

Sounds like your friend could easily have ruined the wedding. 
your images look great so at least there will be some good memories for the couple to look back on.

Re: Helped with a wedding.

How did the formals turn out?

It's hard to believe someone wanting to "get into photography" and wanting shooting a wedding. I have shot two weddings in my life: my first and last! That's just too much monkey business and high stress to boot.

Your candids are awesome! Those will make for many wonderful memories.
