Shooting a Wedding
Shot my second wedding.
Lindsey & Brents’ Knoxville wedding was held at the Bleak House (Confederate Memorial Hall) under a beautiful blue sky. The weather was perfect and every aspect of the event seems to have come off as planned. Near to where we were, the U of T Vols played LSU. Just as they were making their vows, TN must have scored and there were booms and fireworks in the background. Unfortunately, TN lost the game in the last 9 seconds. Hopefully, the marriage will fair much better!
Wedding Party
I was one of the photographers. I set up some remote strobes near the center of the ceremony and the shot from farther back out of the way with telephoto. I metered for existing light. Having a pair of flashes up close helped get good detail.
Another photographer was responsible for all the formal shots, so I concentrated on informal moments— even those when people were assembling for the formal shots. My cousin Tom acted as my assistant and helped me move my remote lights around for different situations.
Kim & Lowden
Later, when everyone gathered for the meal, I switched to flashless infrared photography that I would later convert to B&W. This worked very well and I was able to get some good pics.
