Now this is the story all about how
My gig got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
and recline your photog-ass in that high-back chair
(Dooooo....doot doo doot doo....)
Innnnnn Toronto, Ontario, born and raised,
in the studio was where I spent most of my days,
Playin' Minesweeper, thinkin' cameras s'all cool,
Never thought I'd shoot a wedding where the highlight was tha pool?
Well a couple of brides, they thought up somethin' "good"
"Have a wedding in our backyard, we should!"
It gave me a little fright, (wouldn't you be scared)
I said " to shoot this wedding well I gotta get my self prepared"
I begged and pleaded with the bride that day
But she said "backyard only, that's the way it'll stay"
She signed on the line, and she paid the deposit
I put my camera on, grabbed my AB's from the closet
I whistled for my girlfriend, and when she came by
I said "today's weddings' setting make this dude wanna cry"
If anything I could say that this shoot was rare
But I thought "naw, forget it, let's complain once we're there!"
I pulled up to a house and the morning was a steamer,
Could tell the address right, because the front was laced with streamers
Looked at my "chapel", I was finally there
To shoot a small wedding, a backyard affair
(dooooo...doot doo doot dooo....)
So...yeah. Wedding last weekend was in a backyard, a very small affair, maybe 12 guests...actually, it was very nicely decorated, very pretty indeed, but it presented many challenges. It was difficult to get 'creative', as very few angles left a background without suburbia in it...it was fairly small, so having a range of shots was tricky to get..and it occurred about 2:30-3:30pm, so the sun was really intense. The formals were just the b/g, shot at a local park, so that was interesting...I did some very abstract things for them, since they are all about 'artistic' works for the day...Still processing from the ceremony onwards...anyways, enjoy.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! dude, we should hang out. I read your entire rap and cracked up the whole time.
The shots are bomb dude. Pretty brides are just so pretty. uummm, what does that mean? Whatever.... 6, 20 and 23 stood out the most. Rock and roll man. I'm mean R & B?

Someone on here once said "..no bride wants a picture of their shoes, anyways!" - My bride requested many..! This is one of a ton, but I'll spare you the series...
lol, my next bride requested a lot of shoe pics as well... she had custom flip-flops made

Not only did a bob my head but I rapped it out loud! That was the coolest S*** ever!!!!! I want you to record your voice rapping it and make a slideshow with the pictures with the song playing! I would watch it before every wedding too get myself ready to go! best thing ever written on FM!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Oh yea, the pictures are out of this world too. There was one picture that was a close up of their hands and the pp mad their skin tone look dead but other than that GREAT!
JEA JEA...dipset! haha, awesome, is all your off cam stuff done with AB's? I love mine with the big octobox, but my OneLight set-up is sooo much more convenient. You've got way too many good ones to comment on. I like the ring shot by the pool a lot.
#20. The crop is akward... more like something you'd see after the couple was divorced and the bride went and ripped her dude out of the picture.
Other than that, thought the comps were great, colors were awesome.
Thank you very much for the compliments, still trying to get a more consistent process going. I personally LOVE the #20 crop - it's so bizarre, so different...it looks like an advert for Pushing Daisies or something, lol..but to each their own!
