A friend in need...

Focused with the Focus 2 app

Last Saturday I was able to help a friend of a friend. My friend, John Walters is a great photographer from Cincinnati, Ohio. John taught me a lot of what I know for formal photography, posing and lighting. He also allowed me to teach with him for my first PPA class that earned me a Merit towards my CR Photog. degree. It was only fitting that when I received my degree, he presented it to me. You can say we have history.

Johns friend, Bill Smith of Nashville had a daughter getting married and he needed some help making the images. John asked me if I would do the formals with him. I was there for the "first look." I kind of enjoy doing this, but it always feels weird, kind of like you don't belong. But, we were invited to document it and this was my view.

Super sweet couple and their bridal party was lots of fun. It was great working with John and a handful of other great photographers. I told them if I had that kind of help at every wedding, I would photograph them all the time!
