I hate weddings!

[Old Timer]

I know that many of you have heard me say this in response to a wedding thread and someone excited about doing their first wedding shoot. I go to one only when I have too. This of course is in keeping with the old grouch theme that I have promoted here at PR. But honestly I did so many wedding back in the 70's just to support my photography habit that I really got burned out on them. My wife's nephew got married in NY resently and had ask me to do the pictures, I refused gracefully with the comment that I would bring a camera and try to get a few pics that might be a little different than the pro would be getting (they were mostly the standard setup type shots). Well in all honesty I did have a very good time at the wedding and was able to take a few pics that I liked and hopefully they will too. Here are two taken right after the ceremony with an 80-200mm extended all the way and an SB800 for fill. The bride stoped just after the couple left the gazebo and just had to have another kiss and the other is as she was leaving the area for the reception and turned back to say something to a friend.
