A Bit Nervous!

My husband's cousin is getting married at the end of the month to a military guy. Well, she asked me to take her pictures. I am sure honored, but at the same time I am extremely nervous. I love photography and always wanted to do wedding pictures. However, I have NEVER ever, ever taken wedding pictures before. I am so afraid I will mess them up or not do a good job. The last thing I want is for them to hate what I take. Also, I SUCK at poses. I haven't worked with people much so I am all awkward when it comes to posing and such. My camera isn't even that good. I mean, it's a good camera and it was expensive, but I don't have any professional cameras or lenses; none of that stuff. I only have a Canon Powershot s5 iS. I guess I will just practice with my camera some more and look online for ideas and tips.

Do any of you amazing followers have any tips or tricks for me? Any ideas? I just want to do a great job for them!!

  1. I think you are going to do just fine! I have seen a lot of your pictures and they are always amazing! Just have confidence and know you will do GREAT!

    I always like candid better than posed pictures...but that is just my opinion. I think it better captures the couple and the emotions of the day.
