Yesterday I had the pleasure of assisting my good friend Melissa Koehler at a wedding down at the Island Palms on Shelter Island. It’s been at least a year and a half since I’ve had the chance to be a 2nd photographer at a wedding. Melissa is awesome, and it was a blast to watch her do her thing. I forgot how fun it can be to just assist, and help out a fellow photographer.
Here are a few shots I was able to snag throughout the afternoon.
A couple dress details:


Shoes!

The beautiful bride just chillin’ and relaxin’ while getting ready. She’s so stunning!

I love this Summery, flared out, warm and glowing portrait of the bride:

And one more for good measure:

The lucky groom:

A shot of the bride struttin’ her stuff on the way to the ceremony:

I love this moment with the bride and her parents hidden behind a wall, just before turning the corner to walk down the aisle.

A beautiful, sunny, southern California day on the harbor:

The happy couple:

A nice moment:

I’ll take my cake with a slice of flare on the side, please:

The first dance:

The groom secretly created a slideshow of images of both him and his bride. The photographs ranged from her as a baby, all the way through their relationship together. He did an amazing job, and the bride was in tears the entire time.

Melissa brought along her husband Mark to help us out throughout the day. He was awesome! Here’s a cute snap of the two of them during the reception:

Missi, thank you so much for allowing me to come along and help out yesterday. I’d forgotten how fun assisting can be!
Be sure to check out her images on her blog!
