Bennie · **Post your REAL cermony shots here! -** 12-16-2009, 02:23 PM

No redo shots, no set up shots....show us you favorite REAL ceremony shots!

Bennie · 12-16-2009, 02:57 PM

Ok, I'll start with some of my faves. As we all know, because of the restrictions we have, none of the following will be perfection....but I still like them for sentimental reasons.

Gorgeous stuff Cindy; the third from the bottom has always been one of my favorites of your shots. The emotion there is just amazing!

Bennie · 12-16-2009, 03:48 PM

Thank you. I know you have some too. Show them!

lyncca · 12-16-2009, 03:52 PM

Ha! Do I look like I was born yesterday? No way I follow your pictures with my pictures!

I will pull some up when I get home and see what I got. This should be a fun thread.

I was going to submit no. 3, but here's one I like because of the spirit of the bride.

Removing the picture because it doesn't conform to the Sam rule.

Bennie, there has got to be a story behind the 5th photo. Can you share?

LoL Tom! I wasn't talking to you directly, I just didn't want everyone posting a random wedding day photo when it's for ceremony shots.
It's good to see I have that kind of influence over you though

Very nice Cindy, what was the deal with the bandaid photo?

Here's a few from a wedding

edit: removed an image Sam took - he struck again!

S-Man · 12-17-2009, 06:30 PM

Hey Allen, you can post it. Just put credits

Which one was it? The OOF one or the blurry dark one?

AllenAyres · 12-17-2009, 08:24 PM

This one:

I darkened in around everything except the groom's face/expression - me likey, Sam's photo tho :)

I like this moment, when the bride appears and is usually backlit by the bright foyer/windows to outside:

And this one:

We did it! :)

LOL, yes there is indeed a story....
The groom was really nervous, and thus got really really tanked. Fell, bonked his head, and was taken to the hospital for stitches.

At the wedding was a full time PJ photog. He kept urging me to take photos of this poor guy's embarrassing moment. The family was livid with me for doing so, so I stopped. Then the bride came out and asked me to PLEASE take the photos, so I went back in under very tense family conditions and took a few. (The groom was in shock, literally).

Anyhoo, it turns out that it was the favorite photo of all, because there was a story behind it, and while it was scary for everyone at the time, it's something they all chuckle about now.

LOL Lyncca,

I'm a few short of a gazillion. :-)

What a sweet moment. It always tears me up when the groom cries. Every time....

Favorite 2 from my very last wedding of the season:

S-Man · 12-23-2009, 04:31 PM

From my first wedding:

Wedding in October '09 (really difficult light during ceremony):

Jewish Wedding December '09 (lots of fun!):

(This one caught me off guard. Not as sharp as I'd hoped due to longish shutter

)

I think I have some more, I'll have to dig them out...

Sweet Caroline · 12-23-2009, 08:22 PM

Okay, I'll play:) Dark chapel (except for the backlighting), no flash allowed, required to stay at the back.

Outdoor, rainy day. Much easier ceremony!

3 shooters on this wedding and I had to stand behind the officiant (no aisle) Jessi from TPF has a shot on the bottom board (bottom board, top center)!
