Saturday's Yosemite Wedding in the Rain.

So the afternoon sprinkle got a bit stronger than hoped and forced us under cover. This was probably one of the toughtest ceremonies I have ever shot. Lack of workable space to move around (unless I wanted to stand in the rain) and really dark (metered around f 1.2, 1/100, 4000 iso) but that's why they hired a pro, right?

This was my first of two weddings in the rain last weekend, I'll share the other one soon. More from this one on my site.

    I like #2 for the perspective--in fact, I'd love to see that shot with a 300 and some smooth buttery bokeh. And #5 because the Ahwahnee's grandeur, the outside view and the couple combine for a really nice picture (I'm a huge sucker for the dinning room).

    #3 is fabulous and I was just thinking to myself... Most wedding photogs love the bokeh but you excel at getting that beautiful background in focus as well

    Thanks guys for the love!

    Ian I'm with, I'd love to have a fast 300 as an option for serious compression and bokeh, but I don't think my bank account would like that. I probably shot that with an 85.

    Michael it's a lesson I have learned about couple getting married in Yosemite. They want those soft (bokeh) romantic shots that they are used to seeing, but they also want to the natural beauty of where they got married. Also, I just don't like taking every shot at f2 for a whole list of reasons (lack of creativity, questionable focus, falling into rut, etc). Not that I don't love a good shallow DOF shot!
