Matt & Elaine Wedding

Posted by David on August 9th, 2008

Today we shot the wedding of Matt and Elaine.  I thought I’d post a few fun pics before heading off for bed for you guys to enjoy.

As part of our morning ritual, we get a round of Tim’s while I bring a pair of Starbucks Frappucinos.  They’re great energy boosters throughout the day.  Great, that is, until Neil decided to spill it on his shirt.  Wedding veterans know, always keep a change of clothes in the car – lucky, we had a spare in the boot. Snapped this while we were still driving.

Families can often get really big – so our latest thing is comandeering vehicles to shoot from.  It’s in place, it’s already open, and we can catch everyone before they scatter.  Win-win situation. I like how SUVs have the sunroof we can stand out of now.

Here’s one more – showing one how closely we often have to work with videographers.  Usually, they’re pretty easy-going.  Some, however, totally get in your way.  I’ve shot wedding video before – a totally different game than photo – and I can understand where they’re coming from. I’ve found a smile and diplomacy usually work out well for me.

It was a great wedding. We had loads of time to take photos both before the ceremony and during the “park” part.  I think this is the first time the kids really warmed up to me…

Congrats, again, Matt and Elaine!
