    Wedding Photographers in Action!

    Further to my daughter's wedding last week, my brother in law sent me a CD of snaps he'd taken on the day. This is one of his (by permission) showing me and Roger (readingr from this forum) doing our thing! Roger was directing the group photo for the big confetti throw!

    Cheers

    Looks to me like a couple of guys who know what they're doing. And that's half the battle!

    Of course, as highly esteemed members of this site, we would expect nothing less.

    That's a neat shot. I love the kilt!! You appear very comfortable in it. Do you wear it often? (sorry for being nosey, just curious)

    One of the reasons I don't want to get involved in wedding photography is having to corral everyone and essentially direct things for a large portion of the event.

    Re: Wedding Photographers in Action!

    I think your brother-in-law does good with snaps and I'm glad you didn't focus so much on the group shot that you didn't take another step to the right.
    Really a classic shot of the two of you.

    Re: Wedding Photographers in Action!

    I just remembered on the morning why I had only done one wedding photography event, but it was too late :lol:

    I'll take herding cats anytime - much easier.

    Thank God I polished my shoes for the day

    Go on ask him what he had on underneath the kilt

    PS Mike - the system is working again so cracking on with converting all the pics to TIFF for you.

    Ok! What's under the kilt, Mike?
    And is that a dead rabbit hanging on the front?

    Nice looking group of shooters. I'm with you Roger, I shot one too many weddings and as far as I'm concerned, one is too many.

    Re: Wedding Photographers in Action!

    Thanks guys

    To answer frog's question: I was not dressed authentically under the kilt (it was too cold for that!!). To prove it, here is a pic of the usher, groom and best man showing what's under theirs!!

    The thing hanging in the front is a sporran - sort of a purse. Very handy for the car keys

    I_fly - it was the first time I'd ever worn one ... but it was surprisingly warm and comfortable.

    Cheers

    That last picture is priceless Mike. It gave all of us here in my office a giggle when I gave them the background posts then showed them what was under the kilts. They were kind of worried at first.

    Love the kilt!

    Coming from a Scottish family, I see that quite frequently. Sadly, my family is a bit more authentic. Don't walk behind them on a blustery day.
    I sleep, but I don't rest.
