First Military Wedding...Great Details: Joel & Tifanie

[TheoGraphics]

A recent military wedding I shot. The groom and groomsmen represented nearly every branch of the military! Their uniforms made the traditional tux look pretty sad, haha. You can read more and see more photos on my blog!


CC is always welcomed!

Great series!

... but is it just me? Or do the four gentlemen in black look rather odd? To me it seems they all wear the wrong sizes and wrong cut (for their body shapes) dinner suits?

I think it's both poorly sized suits, along with standing next to custom-tailored military uniforms, haha!

They look odd to me too. And you were right Theo, these guys look sharp in their uniforms. I have seen military weddings before but this is pretty classy. The bride looks gorgeous. Im sure she is very happy. One suggestion on the uniform triptych, you should have got a close up of the marine pin on his collar. The main shot and the bottom right look too similar. Try to really mix it up more on a triptych.

Really nice pictures.

For those interested, the Army guy wearing the Stetson hat is probably a Cavalry Scout - a job title that requires a very rigorous physical and mental prep. Their role is essentially 'scouting', gathering information and sometimes engagement with enemy forward elements. Sort of a semi-cross between Army Rangers and Recon Marines only they function within larger units.
Think John Ford movies, cavalry scout, horses, blue uniforms, sabers - and then think of the modern equivalent.

Thanks for the interesting extra info! Used to be Recon/Scout too ... different continent and different army though

Thanks very much! I believe I have a few shots which focus on the triptych, I'll have to sub those in. Thanks for the CC!

thank you! i got lucky on that one...the videographer's video light hit them perfectly just as my flash was recycling and not firing. it came out great, except for the awful white balance. converted to B&W, and problem solved!
