Being a second shooter, whenever I arrive at a wedding with Molly I never know what to expect. The schedule is already planned out and the details are formalized. I’m expected to show up, meet the couple (usually the groom first) on the biggest day of their life and be ready to shove a camera directly in their face. This day was no different than any other. I arrive on location and run into Molly who is on her way into the venue – The Publick House Inn in Sturbridge, MA. We met the guys at the bar and head our separate ways. Myself with the groom and Molly with the bride.

This particular day was the first time I’ve hung out with the groom alone. Usually all the groomsmen are hanging around “preparing” for wedding (read: consuming adult beverages and torturing the groom as much as possible). This time I hung out with Mark for an hour and a half before the wedding.
