Wedding Pictures

A wedding cake I shot back in 1990. The middle tier was chocolate. Camera: Minolta XD11 Lens: Minolta MD Rokkor-X 50mm, f/1.2 Film: Kodak Gold 100 Shooting Program: Aperture Priority Date: November 10th, 1990 Location: Norris City, Illinois, U.S.A. Minolta XD11 Gold 100 Wedding-2 04ff

For The Sunday Challenge group, who's theme this week was "Scenes that evoke a mood."

My ex-girlfriend Jessica got married yesterday and she asked me to be her photographer. Here she is with her husband Jose sharing a moment at the reception.

I shot this last night after Nathan and Meghan had gotten married that afternoon. Taken with my Sony Alpha SLT-a77V DSLR on October 9th, 2021.

These were some friends of mine whose wedding I shot back in 1984.

The band I'm currently a member of, Deuces Wild, was hired to play at the reception of a couple who got married in nearby Carmi, Illinois. And of course, since it fell in the two-week period of when I had the One Rokkor Around The World project lens, I thought - why not memorialize it for the project? So, after finishing my duties of playing the accompaning music cd for the woman who sang a song at the beginning of the wedding ceremony, I was free to do whatever I chose. Of course I had two cameras with me and one was my trusty Minolta XD11 with the project lens attached. As soon as the minister pronounced the two married, he had them turn to each other and, for the benefit of the crowd, uttered those immortal words, "You may now kiss the bride...." Snap.... got it!

There was a wedding reception held by the Benton Lake on Saturday, so even though I wasn't the official photographer, from my vantage point I got some shots of the bride.

This was a couple that got married and hired my band to play their reception. It was held at the V.F.W. in Carmi, Illinois.

A couple whose wedding I'll be shooting this weekend. I took this at their rehearsal.

I just snapped this picture with my little Continental pocket 110 camera at a reception my band played at. I didn't know the couple and I still don't know who it is, but it makes a good post when I'm looking for 110 images.

This was the wedding cake of some friends of mine who got married around 1984. I shot their wedding photos.

This was the inside of St. Mary's Catholic Church, where we attended the wedding of Carla's cousin on October 26th, 2013.

A wedding I shot last night. The young couple looked so happy, despite being pelted here like they were. It had been raining, right up to the time of the ceremony. Thankfully, it held off and allowed them come out like this without having to worry about getting wet and pelted at the same time.

This was the wedding cake for some friends of mind who got married. Braden is a bass player who I've been in a couple bands with.

This was the cake at a wedding reception I attended. The couple were related to my girlfriend at the time.

Here's the newly-married couple cutting their cake. It was another wedding I shot over the weekend.

There's a place out in the middle of nowhere called Willow Creek. Apparently, it's this big venue you can book to have a wedding at. They might want to clean up this old Chevrolet truck, though.
