College Sweethearts Wedding
These two love birds met in college where I also met them! We all knew each other from Japanese club originally.... and they got to study abroad in Japan together, where he proposed to her on the top of Tokyo Tower! Pretty cool stuff, well they finally got married and I was honored to be their photographer. Wedding was September 13th, 2008... the day that most of Northwest, IN and Chicago got tons of rain and flooding... so no outside shots were possible, but we made do with what we had inside!
1. I've wanted to do an under the veil shot for so long and they humored me and I love it!
2. I had to pose them w/ the sign hanging in the church
3. I took this from the balcony and love how it came out
4. A cute shot from the front, they were in this position since I was actually taking pics of their hands over her dress in the front, and then I snapped this after that
5. Making her laugh during the reception
6. This was clever, as soon as he got the garter off without even turning around he whipped his hand backwards and tossed it, the guys were totally caught off guard
7. The garter later ended up as a headband on the girl who caught the bouquet
8. A ring shot that also shows off the intricacy of their gorgeous unity candle. Neat note about the bride's ring - the engagement ring and this ring have sapphires that were chosen specially to match her eyes by the groom!
9. And because this church was just so beautiful inside, a nice wider angle shot of the sanctuary

I like what you've alluded to in 4...a way to make the best use of time and "flow posing". Any of these little tricks can help shots go smoother, faster. Thanks for sharing!
5 and 6 are GREAT captures....way to be ready. I think the veil shot is very cool, too! Might benefit from a bit of brightening/contrast.
They look so happy together! And that Tokyo proposal...that would have been an awesome photo op!

#2, you cut off some of the "we." Sure I can infer that it is WE.. but it would have been cool if you had it all there.
#6, go DUDE!!!!

You know what's funny? The bride and groom kept warning me how terrible lighting was for photographers there... but not one did I not have issues with it, I loved it for how gorgeous it was!
