Serial No: 3844422
The Pentax Spotmatic from the 1960s that started it all. It was an unexpected gift from my father and something that I didn't fully appreciate at the time. Several rolls of film were ruined in an effort to understand the craft of photography and I was unable to wrap my head around text book definitions or the advice of fellow photographers. From time to time I turned my back on that camera, but from time to time I would pick it up again and delve a bit deeper. Most of what I learned in the early stages was the fruition of self-exploration. Because of that I'd make a terrible teacher, but I was hooked. The sound of the shutter, the feeling of the film advance, the smell of undeveloped negatives, the visual appeal of developed positives. Loved it. From the start I was drawn to architecture and landscape work, mostly due to comfort levels as I was always able to return to a static object or location in an effort to take advantage of perfect lighting conditions or compostion.
I never planned on documenting weddings. When asked to document a friend's wedding I foolishly agreed, failing to let them know that I'd never attended a wedding or photographed a large group of people. I had no idea what a set of wedding photos should look like or what the expectations would be. Despite the uncertainty I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, buoyed by the never-ending flurry of activity and incredible mix of emotion. I was hooked. I could no longer return to a particular location in search of perfect lighting conditions or favourable composition. I had to live in the moment and be part of a narrative.
Photography is a powerful medium. A single photograph can capture an immediate moment which in turn can lead to a chain of memories and respective emotions - some of which might not even be related to the moment captured. A wedding day is full of these moments, both large and small. It can start with introductions and end with reminiscence and the creation of a... show more story. I take great joy in not stepping back, but stepping forward and capturing as much of that as I can.
Since my early forays in wedding photography I've branched out into other areas - family portraiture, newborn photography, commerical photography, etc. My only goal at this point is to continue exploring, guided by the enjoyment that the results provide. SP 3844422 has a lot of life left in it. There is much to capture.

blandsrules asked:Does anyone know any good wedding photographers for $2000 or less? Title. We are getting married September 2017 and trying to book the photographer as soon as possible. We are looking for 8 hours of photos on the day, and an engagement session. We also want a photobooth at the reception, but can pay more for that if needed. Thanks, and we appreciate any information!
vitamincool replied:Evan McMaster photography http://www.evanmcmaster.com/ he does the photobooth and engagement photos for free and will spend all day with you at the wedding no limit on time at all, real firm believer in full day coverage and the client getting the most for their buck. Also as a plus he makes you feel really relaxed and natural during your photos, just an absolute pleasure to work with.
