Well, here it is! After spending a week of going through 1,600 pictures, I have finished editing the Stephens’ Wedding.
This was the second wedding that I have shot, but the first one with my Canon. Needless to say, I was really excited to have the opportunity to help out and get some pretty nice shots as well as learn so many new aspects that I can definitely use in the future!

Mandela and Eugena had a beautiful wedding and I must say that it was pretty fun to shoot.

Then of course there was the pre-wedding preparations!  I managed to run back and forth between the bride’s prep room to the groomsmen before the ceremony.

While the guys were waiting for the ceremony, I took them outside for some group shots. Here are some of my favorites

This one was definitely my favorite

Mandela Jr. was definitely a happy baby! (you would see a few more of him a few pictures up)

Then there was the ceremony.  It was very nice and very quick.  I remember spending pretty much all of it running around trying to get as much as a could.  I’m definitely glad that I managed to get these The reception was definitely the moment where you were able to see how everyone got along and truly loved each other as a family.

I definitely laughed when the Bridal party came out with the Harlem shake The first dance was also amazing.

Then of course there was the Father/Daughter-Mother/Son dance.

If you didn’t notice already, Eugena changed into a really nice dress. She also surprised Mandela by singing for him. Then you can’t forget the cutting of the cake 

And you can’t forget a picture of them with Mandela Jr.
