Hello everyone, I wanted to share some images from a temple wedding I just did. They held their sealing in Billings Montana at the Billings Temple. Their reception was two weeks later here in my home town of Laramie. For those of you who haven't done a temple wedding its a very unique experience. You can't take pictures during the actual ceremony but instead take a series of formals afterwards on the temple grounds. The most important photo taken the whole day however is the photo of the two of them exiting the temple. It is the first photo of them as husband and wife. Hard shot to get as well... imagine a church with 5-6 other weddings occuring an hour plus people going in and out of the front door for activities. Cars were pulling into the circle driveway dropping people off and waiting to pick people up. We had to literally wait outside the main doors and try to time it just perfect. As always comments and critique are welcome and appreciated.

11. Her red shoes were super important to her. She kicked them off before this dance, the placement is how she left them...

Nice work. Good timing on 3. I also like 6 but 7 is my favorite of the set. The bw conversion is well done.

That's pretty cool. Was the reception at the Church gym? I love the king-foo shot!

Nice images. I have not been to Montana, but the environment seems lush compared to Mesa, AZ.

Nice, I wish all the guy's suits weren't crushed to solid black in the outdoor shots though.

I think your "Kung Fu" is strong! I also like the emotion in #9.

Mormons are allowed to dance, I shot a reception inside a LDS church about a month ago and the (both mormon) bride and groom danced very well.

Beautiful Temple as most are. A lot of LDS couples have there receptions in the church because they get the use for free. The Mormons dance just as much as any one else yep. If you have any Questions about Mormonism fell free to ask me. Great Set.

Jeff Babineau - They are college age. She has already graduated he is graduating next year. Couples are looking younger and younger though.

Chris Cooke - Your funny they can dance, are you thinking about the movie footloose? Werent they Baptists? Thank you for the compliment on number 6.

tonebag - Thank you for the comments! I was so nervous about number 3 glad it came out so nice. That conversion is an action I found a while back to convert it to a tritone. PM me if you want it and I can email if your interested.

jprezant - I know huh. You need a group that can commit to this kind of shot. His face is hilarious

Jed Eltom - Thank you for the comment!

Marie-Louise - Thank you! That is one of my favorites too...

bobvanjr - What gave it away, maybe the basketball hoop? Yep church gym terrible lighting but really fun couple.

Rusty-Tripod - Thanks, it was my first time in MT. Looked like Scotland for a while so green and beautiful.

Alexis Marinho - Thanks for the comment...4 is my favorite. They have a canvas print of that one.

Volktronic - Guess it all depends on your personal taste. I tend to like things a bit more contrasty though. Thank you for the comment.

Chris Burt - Thanks, number 9 is one of the most natural smiles I have from her. It was during her fathers toast.

T Bangerter - Thanks!
