🥳 TEN YEARS. 🥳
-
Ten years ago today, I photographed my very first wedding as a lead photographer.
-
To be completely honest? It ended up being a terrible experience. One that almost lead me to quit photography all together.
-
I thought today would be a good day to summarize the story because I never have publicly before. 🙈
-
Psst! Swipe to see some photos from my first wedding. ✨🤗
-
I was in over my head with little experience to have the sole responsibility. I took on the lead role sooner than I should’ve. I was being mentored by a wedding photographer and had assisted a few weddings prior. But only a few. I barely knew how to use my camera and had only lead a few sessions with my friends + family. Definitely not the experienced required for the role a wedding day needs.
-
I relied too much on my second photographer. I had a more experienced 2nd, but she had to leave halfway through and left me hanging to fend for myself. Shit happens but this was NOT the day for me to manage that, haha.
-
The excitement for my first wedding overruled my caution. Miscommunications happened from the start. I had a contract, and openly shared with the couple that it was my first wedding, etc. All the things you should do. But post-processing was not discussed and a few mishaps day-of lead to disappointment.
-
I did it for free. I didn’t charge them anything. You would think that there would be extra grace and the knowledge that there is room for improvement, but for some reason when you charge zero dollars and zero cents for your services, you’re less appreciated. Other business owners might have similar stories and it’s super weird.

I realized today that I’m coming up on 10 years from my very first wedding as a lead photographer. 😬
-
I picked up a camera when I was about 12. Started taking photos for family and friends when I was about 16. Dabbled in weddings at 19 and documented my first one via TMinspired Photography at 20.
-
Can you believe it when I say I almost quit shortly after I got started?
-
Later this month, I’ll dive into some of my thoughts on this last decade. For now, I’m resting in gratefulness.

Forest engagement sessions pop with jewel tones. Erika’s yellow dress was making my heart sing throughout our sunset hike. ✨
