Golf course wedding.

Kathryn and Ryan. Very pretty girl with lots of personality and her groom.
I had never shot at this venue before. Golf courses hmmmmm....can't recommend 'em. We ended up shooting out on the golf holes dodging incoming golfers, very little area to choose from for shooting.
Started off sunny and turned into full clouds and flat light.

The dress and Mother of the bride showed up 1.5 hours late (why does this sound familiar). So I had 40 minutes to shoot the bride, bride and groom, wedding party and family shots prior to the ceremony. So if the scenery does not seem to change from shot to shot....there wasn't much for choices and there was no time to move anyway. All these are shot with natural light and/or on camera flash on a bracket.

I think I am going to give her a free bridal shoot in October to get her some really nice photos...she was a real sweetheart.

Anyway click if you are interested, click the slideshow button upper right once you get there and you can click through them pretty fast.

    Awesome pics! I'd be very pleased to have these shots of my wedding and I'm sure the happy couple will love them. Very cute couple, too.

    I really loved the shot of the cake with the two little girls gazing at it in awe. Toooo cute!

    Wow!! That is a nice shoot you did there, I am sure they will be/ are impressed. A few pics could have used a higher f-stop to give a more little depth of field. The color was so great I found the B&W photos a little disappointing (great pics, I just liked the color ones better). It has to be one of the better wedding shoots that I have seen.

    Great job

    Thanks everyone, really appreciate you making the effort to click the button and look at the gallery.
    Thanks for taking the time to comment. Always very appreciated to hear your feedback.

    I have the hardest time picking a few favorites from the galleries to post here so decided for me it is best just to post a link. I know some people will not click a button to get there and that reduces the number of people who view the pictures.

    Thanks again.

    yeah..lots of good shots Zoomer, but the 2 old guys is epic. Seems like you did a great job working with them with such a small amount of time.

    Great set again!!!

    Thanks for taking a look and commenting, glad you like them.
    I never put the galleries in order, I like to mix it up so each photo stands on its own. Don't want them to be more involved in following the timeline than looking at the pictures.

    you make working with some poor conditions and stress seem very easy!

    I'm completely jealous. All of the photos i saw in that gallery were fantastic.

    Awesome set!! I would love to see the exif data for the shot of the entire bridal party jumping in the air (#11 I think). It almost looks 3D

    BTW...the bride looks freakishly like Jessica Alba.
