Location and why it matters:
My location for this project was York, Maine, where I photographed a wedding. I didn’t choose the location myself because I was there to photograph the wedding as a second photographer. The wedding was right by the ocean, which ended up being a really good location for taking photos. The ocean and the scenery gave me a lot of nice backgrounds and helped make the pictures look more interesting.
I really liked photographing by the ocean because it gave the photos a different feeling than if they were taken somewhere indoors or in a more basic location. I was able to use the water, sky, and landscape in the background while photographing the couple. The natural lighting and scenery also helped make some of the photos stand out.
This wedding was important to me because it was my first time photographing a wedding as a second photographer. It was a really good experience because I got to see what it is actually like to photograph a wedding and capture important moments throughout the day. I was also able to learn from the main photographer and get more comfortable taking photos in a professional setting.
