My good friend Kenny Richardson and his fiance Kayleigh Samantha Betts are getting married this Friday. They asked me and my friend Craig to be the photographers for the wedding. It will be taking place at Haddo House in Scotland which is an absolutely amazing location.
I am really looking forward to it and I really wish them all the best. This will be my first full coverage of a wedding as a main photographer and I really can't wait. This is something I have wanted to get into for a while and now I have a great opportunity to showcase what I can do. I love the journalistic approach to a wedding and I believe my style will fit the occasion nicely. I really will put everything I can into it in order to give them great images to remember their day.
My girlfriend Catriona and I have been planning to venture into the wedding photography business for a while now and we are currently collecting all the needed equipment to have two full camera kits. I have a fully rounded off kit now that I have spent years perfecting and experimenting with many different cameras and lens combinations and doing many photo shoots to arrive at my final choices, we just need to get Catriona sorted out with her choice of kit (which will be happening very very soon) and we will begin to take wedding bookings. So if you or anyone you know are getting married then you should really consider us, I guarantee we will capture the day in a way that will make you want to look at the images time and time again. I personally have been teaching Catriona for the past few years and I couldn't wish for a better partner to be by my side.
An added bonus to Kenny's and Kayleigh's Wedding is that I get to see many of my old friends that I haven't seen in years. I know I will be working but It will be great to catch up, especially after the first few dances and the photographic duties are drawing to a close, I'll be able to catch up with everyone at the bar for a while.
I also can't wait t use my new Carl Zeiss lenses which are absolutely superb. I recently purchase the Zeiss 35mm f2 (for a journalistic approach) and the Zeiss 28mm f2 for when I need a wider angle (I never go wider than 28 as I hate seeing people distorted in my photos and the 28mm keeps that to a minimum while giving me that wider angle of view when needed). Carl Zeiss have just released the new 35mm f1.4 which has caught my eye and may also purchase, I will see how the 35 f2 fairs first as I love it. The Zeiss just gives images that I have not seen from anything Canon has out there and I am amazed at the quality and rendition of every photo I take with them.
Friday will be a great day all round, seeing my friend kenny getting married, seeing all my old friends and documenting the whole event. Good times will be had and I really look forward to it.

Good written post. You may also consider purchasing a camera dolly that comes with a tilt head and pan, which helps with movement and also helps keep your camera secure.
