These two met in college (and I knew both of them). I brought along my 40D to give it a test spin and had me some fun snapping them.

    The car is a Cadillac. Late 50's would be my guess....or very early sixties.....maybe 59 to 61....ish.

    Nice job with the wedding photos!!!:D
    Thanks,

    Yeah I think you're right there, that brings to memory them talking about the "caddy" yesterday... I know they said at one point or another what year it was, but I can't remember. I work with the guy who owns the car, so I can ask him later :)

    Oh and side note (in case anyone is wondering) they only had cake and punch after the wedding, hence no dancing crazy reception or other traditional shots (like no bouquet or garter toss). While they live in Indiana... their parents are in PA and NY... so they are having two receptions at those respective states later.

    I love #1 and #4....that first kiss! I can't stand it when grooms don't touch their brides during the first kiss. This looks like it has some PASSION behind it! thumb.gif

    Beautiful shots!

    Ahhh so sweet. My husband and I are going to renew our vows at a small chapel...we're looking for a photographer in Texas...anybody out there? Seems so oxymoronish for a photographer to be looking for a photographer. rolleyes1.gif

    Anyway...these images are beautiful.

    Yeah you can really tell these two are made for each other... they've actually been living together for at least two years pre-marriage if memory serves correctly... so it's great to see that even after living together for that period of time the spark is still there as they enter into their marriage finally :)

    Great Photos!
    Did you have a add in the local paper or did word of mouth get you three weddings in one month?

    Thanks!
    I went to college with the bride and groom shown here. They didn't pay me a penny. I just clicked away for the fun of it at their wedding.

    My other two gigs this month are through a place that contracts me out. I do weddings through them as well as weddings I book through advertising on craigslist.

    I have no weddings in June at all though oddly enough. Go figure.
