A few from a wedding today

[o hey tyler]

I went down to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens today to shoot a wedding for Tiffany and Jameson. There was a distinct chance of rain all day, so I was pretty tense up until the ceremony finished. Things were quick and moved right along swiftly due to the impending weather, but it all went smoothly. Just as we got back to the Information Building (after we took a few "after ceremony" photos) it started to downpour.

Here are a few of my favorites from today (not necessarily in order):

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

I like 4 and 5.

3 is good, but would be better if the subject wasn't centered and there was a bit less head room towards the top.

For #6, I understand the limitations you were working with(probably a canopy over the top?) and the guests heads, but for this one, there is just a bit too much going on. Maybe next time bring a step ladder or a bag that you can stand on. Would have been a really nice shot if you could have been a few feet taller.

Overall, nice set.

Thanks George,

For #6, the wedding planner had actually put out umbrellas for every seat at the wedding (~20 people total), and what you're seeing is the umbrellas that people are holding up during the beginning of the rain. If there were an extra seat available, I could have used that. But otherwise, we were pretty much out in the woods unfortunately. I did make use of some semi-large rocks that were around however, just not in any of the shots I've posted. I'll have to see if I can find a small collapsible step stool that I can throw in my car.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Nicely captured!

You're way more experienced than me, but I'm not a big fan of the floating bench in #4. Other than that, they look great!

Good point, Ken. Thanks.

And thanks to the others that have responded so far.

the boat shot is interesting on a few levels, not by intension but nice how these things work out in photography. The blue/pink planks united reflect their own differences joined in unity, not to mention the ageless M/F significance of the colors.

Tyler took this photo. It's obviously intentional

For what it's worth, #6 is my favourite of the ones you posted. I don't know much of wedding photography, but the dof, the framing of the couple, heads in foreground I just think works very nicely. I just like it. It's like being there, you know.

Not to trod on Tyler's abilities, but sometimes we have to pay homage to serendipity.

Very very good. Great images. I LOVE #5. It is the money shot to me.
