A bit of back story on this couple. Will and Cait have dated for several years. He joined the military a couple of years ago after working a great job close to DC. After all of his training and commissioning he arrived at Fort Bragg and was told he would be deploying.
Fast forward 5 months to December 2008 and they decided to elope to Las Vegas.
They then decide to have the formal ceremony after his return in November of 2009. The wedding was January 2010.
They come to me first to photograph their wedding. :dunno I gave her a couple of names and some sites to look at. She came back to me and then I sat down with her and told her that it would be best if she was to find someone else for different reasons...1. Her father in law was my husband's senior rater for two years (military term); 2. We were going to be invited to the wedding as guests.; 3. I am still learning.
She looked at my site and liked what she saw. I went back and forth with this one and asked Scott (Quier) for advice. I finally gave in and agreed to do the wedding with Scott as my second. :whew
The groom is one of 5 boys and they are all still very rambunctious. It made for a fun time and every now and then an interesting photo.
I am very nervous about posting these but I have to jump in sometime. I will make sure you know when the photo is Scott's. Thanks for "listening" and I hope to get your C&C.
1. (Scott) Getting ready. I like dad's reflection.
2.
3. I was leaving to get ready for her walk downstairs and looked back in the room and caught this one.
4. Just saw her coming down the stairs.
5. (Scott)
6. I was hidden in the room by the alter so I just stood out and aimed without looking and hoped for the best.
7. (Scott) The Chapel of the Centurion is the oldest wooden military chapel in continuous use (1858) in the United States Army. It is at Fort Monroe, VA.
8. (Scott) Saber Arch
9. (Scott) They are told to kiss.
10. They then get told "Welcome to the Army" followed by a whack.
11. (Scott) My absolute favorite!
12. Bride's mom and grandmother.
13. I had to add one with my DH.
14. (Scott) Mom surrounded by her boys.
15. Cheers!
16. The groom with his grandparents.
17. (Scott) The groom's younger brother (#4) just graduated from West Point and is now engaged.
18. (Scott) Groom is a 1st Lieutenant (1LT); Dad is a Lieutenant General (LTG = 3 Stars); Sam was a West Point Cadet
19. (Scott) They have been doing this since the two youngest were about 5 & 7.
20. The boys started yelling "Get all the weapons you can find!" and this happened.
21. She was talking to one of her bridesmaids during this one.
22. They wanted one with the Chesapeake behind them. There is a lot of space for cropping.
Thanks for looking. There are so many more but this gives you an idea. If you are interested you can see the rest on my site. The only request they had was that they wanted as many from the reception as possible to document the fun.

For example on shot 21, I would give it more exposure, stronger black point, color boost, stronger contrast, and a vignette to top it all off. The base image is good.
