The Sunset of All sunsets

Written on January 26, 2010 Posted in Wedding Pictures


This is a a test of the caption.

I’d love to take credit for it. But really what can I say?
It happened all on it’s own and I was simply there with the know-how to capture it in it’s fullness.

It’s funny because I went through my motions and I was outwardly calm but I knew what was happening was special and I was a giddy little school boy inside.

I

posted a preview a few weeks ago of the pictures. Many of the brides friends wondered where we got the backdrop.

I had to play with the WB a little because there comes a point where the camera is fooled… it must believe that nothing can normally be that color and wants to soothen it.
But i told that camera, this is real baby, bring out all the color you can.

You know it was something special when the toast at the reception 3 weeks later they make analogies to the sunset.
If your life is anything like that sunset on your wedding day… well it’s gonna be something special

You can see here during the ceremony the sun was setting and it took some time for the color to really expload a few minutes later.

So what’s our lesson as photographers: be prepared to take advantage of amazing things.
It was a wonderful moment for me… one of the best. But had I been ill prepared it could have been amongst the worst experiences of my photography.

So what’s the lesson for the Photograph-ees: You can’t just expect things to happen, you need to be willing and creative enough to put yourself in positions where things can happen, if fate smiles down on you as well.
And if possible pick a photographer that can help play with that fate just a bit more and improve those odds.

There’s overcast and then there’s White Overcast… where the sky is pure white with no definition to it and it provides no unique or warm glow like some types of cloudy days. So to say it was challenging is correct.

As you can tell I’ve really been loving twilight these days.
I searched around for the area with the most frost on the trees in bountiful.
Some random country road.

We pulled up to the location and it just kinda occurred to me that the car had lots of light power… why not use it.
I know it’s nothing terribly ground breaking but it was the first time for me.

I used the car lights on all the twilight/night pictures.

Stay tuned for the reception and luncheon pictures… I tried a new lighting style that I’ve never done before and they turned awesome.

Nauvoo Wedding

The day of was perfect weather. Cloudy just a little snowy and a balmy 34degrees.

I say that because the day before was an Ice Storm that left an inch of ice all around town.
And the day after the temp dropped 30Degrees to a high of 4 with an extra -20 of windchill.

It’s a small little building (in comparison) and the grounds were very limited because of the snow.
We had to go back inside to warm up a few times… but in the end the pictures were really good.
And the many fun goofy pictures really fits their personality. They did great!
