No harm in blowing it. The bride is supposed to cry. A fine relaxed atmosphere in the photos, BTW.

The organizational work was a big pain in the ass. You really have to be devoted to the whole wedding shoot scenario to make it work. It can't be an on again, off again thing. That being said, a very good friend, who happens to be my all time favorite model, was married this week. This was one of those tax- deduction gotta get married now things. They're going to have another wedding next summer, with a real wedding photographer. So since this was just a warmup, I offered to shoot it for them. I knew they didn't want to spend money on a wedding photographer. I've shot hundreds of magazine articles and numerous events, but weddings frighten me. It only happens once, and if you blow it, the bride will cry. Fortunately, it went well. The ceremony was at a courthouse. It was a justice of the peace ceremony, but the presiding judge let me shoot what I wanted. Fortuitously enough,. my house and studio are only a couple of miles from the courthosue, so I whisked bride and groom to my house and shot a few studio shots. Finally, there was a dinner at a Polish restaurant in Hammtramck, Michigan. (I had some duck blood soup. Yum)/ http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5304990 http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5304992&size=lg -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
