Wedding Shoot With Asher

A couple months ago, Asher (the owner/administrator of OPF) helped me shoot a wedding, for which I am very grateful.

The wedding shoot went well. Here's one of Asher's shots of the bride's procession, showing his eye for good light:

And here's one of his table shots, showing his mastery at working the crowd:

Here's one of my pictures of the happy couple:

I tried doing a photo booth at this wedding, and, despite some obstacles, it went well. Here are a few examples:

Thanks for looking. I hope you enjoy.

Mike,

It's a pleasure to visit with you and see you build your wedding business! Next time insist they have at least one candle to light each table in the dark barn!

I handed Mike the CF cards and had no responsibilities to deliver any images (which was nice). Photography at a wedding is exhausting but fun. Processing images in even more time consuming and one has to pay for any drinks you want!

Hi Asher & Mike

I've enjoyed looking at these enormously, beautiful light in Asher's shot, love the close up of the bride and groom, and what a great idea to set up the booth and get these great fun shots, the bride and groom must be thrilled with the results, you both must be too...

Thanks, again, Asher.

Janet, I'm glad you enjoyed them. The bride and groom were, indeed, thrilled. As for me... I'm a tough self critic.

Mike,

Maybe we should show more as it was a lot of effort and even more fun working together. We should do more of this in OPF! That we we can help people on their new paths and at the same time get to experience working with realy nice people!

I also took interesting shots of the bartenders that were intended to be shown in B&W!

There is this one guy who was particularly charming and should be an actor, but isn't!

See if you processed these as they are not really what the bride asked for, just me having fun with a bunch of great folk serving the drinks!

Asher

Asher,

I did process the bartender pics. In fact, I processed them in black and white. I even included them in the pics I gave to the bride and groom, since, in my opinion, they were a worthwhile part of "the story of the day".

However, I did not include bartender pics in the bride and groom's online slideshow, and thus, I don't really have a convenient way to post them online, to link to, and display, here. If there's a way to directly post a bartender pic here, hosted on OPF, let me know, and I'll do so. Otherwise, I'll send the pics to you, and you can host 'em and post 'em.

Thanks, Mike, I thought they'd be worthwhile!

I'll post them when you send them!

Asher
