Last month I had the opportunity to shoot alongside Casey of Hello Love Photography for Stephanie and Matt’s Berkshires wedding. I’ve only second-shot a few times, but every time I have I’ve left feeling so excited, so inspired in new ways, and with a refreshed perspective on photographing weddings. There’s something about learning and collaborating with someone who does the same thing you do, but in slightly different ways and with different outcomes. I love taking the lead and being in charge of getting you the best images of your wedding, but, occasionally, stepping back and shooting from the sides is just too great an experience to pass up.

Knowing Casey was capturing everything beautifully gave me the opportunity to shoot all film, which if you know me you know makes me very happy! The wedding and reception was held at The Pastures…a stunning and truly unique setting. Here are a few of my favorite images. Enjoy!

 
Nothing like a funny bride…and Stephanie had us laughing so hard with her portrait poses…

 






 
And…surprise! Stephanie and Matt’s family hired professional fire-dancers and musicians to end the night on an amazing note.
