hi all. These are from a friend of mine's wedding...unfortunatly i met thim after they had already hired their photographer. I didnt shoot the ceremony because i was conducting the string orchestra. they hired an 8 piece ensemble + trumpet to play at the wedding. thats what you get when two band directors get married! they arranged the processional and the recessional themselves and i conducted the ensemble. they were very good players...they all played in the augusta symphony (2 of them were my professors at school, lol)
i shot the rehersal and the dinner since their photog wasnt shooting that, and i took my camera to the reception.
rehersal dinner:
1. the groom's son...what a cutie! he was such a ham too. every time i'd point the camera at him he'd say "CHEEEEEESE!!!"

3. one of the uncles or grandparents, not really sure.

6. nothing special about this photo except that it is an example of how perception matters: the guy on the left looks like a giant! or is it that the bride/groom are tiny?

12. there's something that i like about this photo, although i cant quite put my finger on it. maybe it captures some of the tenderness they were sharing during their dance?

there's more, but seeing as how i wasn't the hired photog, i helped heard people out of the way so she could get the captures she needed. because of this, alot of my shots have cut off arms and random elbows of people holding their cameras out to get pictures from the sides, heh.
a little side note...this was my first lightroom project. all were shot in .jpg and corrected in lightroom. i noticed that as i would apply the same settings to a group of pics that it would work better for some than for others even though the lighting conditions were the same. some of the pics have a slight blue cast from white balance correction, and some are spot on (to my eye at least). i suppose in the future i'll have to make minor WB corrections to each image.
