p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · A wedding with no guests


Well, one guest (me).

Vanessa is my wonderful assistant, both in my full-time job (construction business), and my part-time job (photography). A few weeks ago she and her long-time fiancee suddenly decided it was time to officially tie the knot. They asked if I would shoot some photos for them, at a lovely lakeside resort in the mountains of Idaho.

With only a few days notice, there wasn't really time for me to find a substitute assistant (and I couldn't very well ask Vanessa to do it), so we did the best we could with natural light, and occasional use of an Ice Light.

It was a beautiful day for that time of year, nearly 60 degrees, sunny and calm. Thankfully, there were still some nice fall colors in the trees. Here are a few of the memories of the day that we captured.

[I posted these in the People Forum and not Weddings, as that forum seemed more geared to professional wedding photographers, which I'm not, and this was a pretty non-traditional one!]

For the situation, you've got some really outstanding shots that they're going to be, or are, very happy with! Great job! Faves are 20 and 26, and 17 is almost there.

Wow! you documented the whole wedding and did it so well.

I like how you controlled light in #14 (clicking glasses at the table), dividing it between them and the background.

Her happy smile in #20 and the fine silhouette in #26 stand out for me, amongst the many other shots.

Very nice work here Brian. It's nice to see that weddings can still be done simply.

Great Job mate.
I'm sure they will love these.
Now they didn't need witnesses?

Thanks!

They had an officiant there to perform the ceremony, and I was able to sign as a witness.

Sweet .. don't they need 2 witnesses to sign something which makes it legal and scary and such?

There was also someone who worked at the resort able to take care of this, no worries.

Lovely photos, but I have to say, no guest to share their moments is a bit sad.

Really love 17 and the fact that they weren't centered between the pillars. Of course, the silhouette in 20 was amazing as well. What a beautiful place to get married, with or without guests ;-)
Great job!

Thanks. Perhaps, but both of their families live far away, and they've been living together for quite a few years. As you can see from their expressions, they were anything but sad. I love the fact that they chose to marry, when it seems that these days so many young people don't feel it important to do so. I remember nearly 32 years ago when my wife and I got married in front of a few dozen relatives and friends, we were completely stressed out worrying over whether our parents (all of whom were divorced and remarried and disliked each other) were going to be civil or rude. Thankfully, they were on their best behavior that night.

Nicely done, and kudos to them for making the commitment. As you say, many these days take it lightly or don't bother. I still think its the best thing you do... after many, many years of marriage.
