My first wedding as a professional wedding photographer took place yesterday in Portland, Indiana. As I was just starting my photography business in Dayton, I listed my services on Craigslist. Julie was the first person to take a chance on me, and I am grateful for that. Portland is a northeast Indiana farm town, the kind with one long road through it. The two-hour drive from my home was not at all filled with nerves. For most photographers, it might have been. My wife came to the first few weddings with me including this one.
