I had a great day Saturday shooting the wedding of Katie & Kevin Tritch down here in sunny San Diego. To say that this was a beautiful wedding wouldn't begin to do it justice. These are the kinds of events where I'm challenged to make sure everything looks as amazing in the camera as it does in reality.
The ceremony was held on the USD campus ( Katie's alma-mater ) in The Immaculata chapel. Everything was stress free from the start and I've rarely seen an event run so smoothly.
I had my friend Mike Patterson of Oalian Photography help me out with shooting the ceremony and following portrait session. He rounded out my focus on the traditional shots by getting candids and alternative angles whenever possible. Working with a 2nd shooter can really alleviate some of the pressure of working on such a tight schedule. The only real drawback is having another thousand images or so to manage. ( I left this wedding with 56 gigs of photographs ) Some photographers may disagree with me, but shooting everything in RAW is the best policy if you've got the storage media.
Around sunset the whole gang headed down to the Naval Submarine Station in Point Loma for more photo ops and the reception. I had never been on the base ( or shot a Navy wedding before for that matter ). It was a perfect venue with a deck that opened to the ocean.
Now I've said that I've seen some families that know how to party before but the Kavanaugh / Tritch clan might top them all. The dance floor was raging with a bunch of uniforms and even grandma. By the time I headed out around 10pm there was no sign of anybody slowing down.
When working an event doesn't feel like work at all you know you've got a great gig. Thanks Katie & Kevin!
