The morning after the wedding in North Bay was quiet. The rain had moved on, and the air had that fresh, post-celebration stillness. I made a cup of coffee in the little Airbnb kitchen, opened my laptop, and started going through the photos from the night before.
The Morning Routine
Editing always starts with a simple scroll. No filters, no adjustments—just reliving the day. I went through each image slowly, smiling at the moments that slipped by in real time: the laughter during the speeches, the dance floor lights bouncing off the walls, the couple’s kiss under those perfect fall leaves.
Reviewing the Shots
The Sony a6000 handled the day beautifully. The flash balanced out the dim hall lighting, and outside, the autumn colours were everything I hoped they’d be. I marked my favourites—the first look, the kiss by the trees, and the first dance. Every frame told a piece of the day’s story.
Keeping It Natural
I wasn’t in a rush to edit heavily. The goal was to see which images carried the emotion on their own. No black and white conversions this time—just the natural warmth of the setting sun and the colours of North Bay in October. A bit of contrast here, a little exposure tweak there, and each moment came back to life exactly how it felt.
Wrapping Up
By the second cup of coffee, I had a full shortlist ready for final edits later in the week. Sitting in that quiet Airbnb, it felt good to slow down and relive the day through the photos. Weddings go by fast—but the morning after, when you’re sorting through the images, that’s when you realize how much story you actually captured.
