I don't do weddings. Here's my first one.

I've had an amazingly diverse and challenging week. You already know the Caroline story. On an entirely different note, I photographed a wedding for a friend the previous Friday. The condition was that I would shoot it my way.

I'm posting three images from the first roll I've developed of the reception. I couldn't bear to use flash and ruin the mood (it was late at night and in a very dimly lit room). It was so posh and elegant, very Cartier-Bresson. ;) Out came the Delta 3200, and I shot by the light of a few dim chandeliers and the candles on the tables.

Anyway, this is my take on the reception.

In this image, the flower girl (bride's daughter) had just collided with the cake table and was getting some love from Mom.

I did one wedding for my wife's cousin. I was miserable doing it, as it was my first time and I know the pressure your're under. But, there is a silver lining. A family friend of theirs saw me, and ended up giving me his complete 4x5 Supergraphic outfit that had been in his closet for 20 years. It was a great learning experience too, mainly not to do it again. I've been hearing some of the same type of things about more and more interest in black and white, atypical photos. This past weekend I shot a family portrait, typical color shot for the Christmas card. After we were done they requested that I try to get some casual black and white's of the kids playing with each other. Unfortunately one of them fell and hurt themselves so we had to cut it short, but I was happy that they at least brought it up!
