ISO: In Search Of | Episode 1: Day of Coordinator Caitlynn Pedana

Hello, everyone!

I’ve started a new YouTube series and I’m so excited to share it with all of you!

ISO: In Search Of is a YouTube series dedicated to showcasing fellow wedding venders so couples can get a greater sense of who they may be hiring for their wedding.

It also gives people looking to get into the wedding industry a sense of how and why we do what do for couples.

In my first episode I’m featuring Day of Coordinator and Wedding Planner Caitlynn Pedana. I worked with her recently at The Olde Mill Inn and I instantly knew she had to be one of the first venders I shared.

With her strong personality and goal of making sure couples have the best experience on their wedding day, it was a no brainer to have her on the first episode.

I hope you all learn from and enjoy this series. I have so much more coming soon!

Ana and Delbert's Wedding Highlight Film | Richard J Nieves Photography

Ana and Delbert's Wedding Highlights Film filmed by Richard J Nieves Photography - A Look at their Day!

Ana and Delbert's Wedding was one of the most special days of their lives. These two are so adorable together and it was a pleasure to be able to document their big day! When I first met Ana and her future husband, Delbert, you could feel the wedding day jitters, but also a calmness and joy that would take over and push those jitters to the side. As I got to know them, I could see the strong chemistry they shared. The attention to each other they shared so deeply. The details couldn’t have been more perfect. They were both huge Harry Potter fans and it showed in the best of ways. Everything about their day blended together perfectly because these two are just so amazing! Here’s a look back at some of my favorite wedding highlights!

Why I Love Being A Wedding Photographer

I love documenting weddings through photography and videography because of the feelings throughout the day that I get to experience as an outside figure that’s closeup to all the events of the day.

It’s all about the emotion. I’m the kind of person that feeds off of emotion surrounding me. If I’m around bridesmaids getting excited after seeing their bride in her dress for the first time or if I’m photographing a father and mother dance during the reception, I’m really in a good space mentally and that allows me to get the shots that matter to my clients and that they’ll love to see in their album.

A wedding is like a dinner recipe. It’s a few spoonfuls of joy, excitement, nervousness, and sentiment.

But with large events, especially a wedding where it’s a once in a lifetime moment, there’s the occasion where the boiling point will hit a high and things may overflow. In that case I, as a photographer and friend to my clients and their families, have to be present and put on my thinking cap to solve issues within my power to resolve. I’m not just a photographer on a wedding day. I am a servant to my couples and I love doing my best to make sure they enjoy their wedding as much as possible.

That aspect of problem solving, including working with the landscape around me as my “photo studio” for the day and working with families that aren’t my own really adds challenge that I thrive on. I also get to close my Apple Watch rings just with all the running around I do during an 8 hour wedding day.
