I thought it might be fun to share a little IN Photography history with you. When we opened our portrait studio 3 years ago in Lake Havasu City, AZ we had no intentions of shooting weddings. Our doors had not been open for even a month and on a Wednesday a girl walked in and asked if we could photograph her wedding on that Saturday. We needed all the work we could get so we agreed.
The only knowledge we had about shooting weddings was from our experience at family and friends weddings and the single worksheet that one of our instructors gave us while in school. (Wedding photography was “frowned upon” at our school). We practically packed up the entire studio for this little wedding. We did it the way we thought it was supposed to be done and we absolutely hated it.
We were later approached by a family friend and asked to photograph her daughter’s wedding. We agreed as long as we could skip the traditional stuff and try shooting the way we wanted to shoot. We had an absolute blast and the photos turned out awesome! To Mark and I’s surprise, that wedding led us to where we are now, running a business primarily photographing weddings. The best part is, we LOVE what we do!
It’s been a lot of fun to watch the business evolve over the last three years. I don’t think I could find two better photos to represent this evolution than these:
Our very first wedding…
And a much more “IN” group shot. Fun, relaxed and most importantly, a real moment!
Stay tuned…it’s going to get even better over the next three years!
