So it’s not often a portrait photographer would be putting his life and equipment on the line.
Sure an adventure photographer or even some kinds of sport photographers.
Absolutely for a wartime photographer …
But not a portrait or wedding photographer!!
Well I might not have died falling into the river I’d say 50/50 with the almost freezing mountain water. But it was sure possible to fall in and the camera woulda been toast.
And those rocks were crazy slippery.
Perhaps I’m a wimp or perhaps I want to make it into a bigger deal than it was.
UPDATE: I guess I was right in thinking it was pretty risky… here’s a story of an actual death
Let’s just say my heart was pumping getting out on the rock and the dang thing was slick as anything… but stephen thought ahead and put towels on the rocks … or it would have been impossible.
This is stephen getting the towels on the rock. Doesn’t really show that there was no easy way to get to the rock.
I’m sad I didn’t get him to take a picture of me on the rock… but my thoughts were elsewhere.
Might we add the obvious!! They were out on that log… they were pretty crazy too!
And stephen!! Well the kids just a stud… jumping around on those slick rocks!
Going back to my bag when the battery ran out. Etc Etc
Fun times!!
I love how green it is! Such an incredible shot. One of the best ideas. Even if you were out on a limb for a bit!
Love it! When you tweeted about putting your life and equipment on the line I didn’t realize it was for Adele and Stephen’s engagements. Can’t wait to see the rest.
Yikes! The shots were totally worth it… well now that all are safe and sound back on dry ground.
Crazy – so are their announcements going to say “Taking the plunge!”?
Been a while since I’ve commented, but those are -cool- shots!!
WOW! RAD!
Great shots. Beautiful scenery! the risk was worth it.
So, if anything had happened…do you have your couples sign something first, so they can’t sue? Bet your attorney will be all over that, suggesting a waiver after seeing this on your FB wall and Twitter pages…and I can hear the “Jacoby & Meyers” ad now: “As I saw my fiancee’s head slip below the foam for the last time…sniff…”
You are crazy!!! At least you got amazing pictures that you can be sure no one else will get! Great job.
Yeah those rocks can be real slick. I’m used to fly-fishing on those suckers! Good job with the photos!
Dang! That’s brave of them to get out on that limb like that! Way to go out of the way to get awesome pictures!
These turned out so well! I don’t know if I would be so willing to risk my camera or life. It’s even more amazing that the couple were willing to participate. Kudos to you and the couple!
You know come to think of it, this was a shoot that was conspicuously missing from your website choices…. JaG
Incredible- that’s a dedicated photographer to sacrifice like that!
