p.1 #1 · Nikia & Q :: 21 pics


One of the more emotional wedding I've been to. Raise you're hand if you've ever cried at a wedding you were shooting. **raises hand**

The groom was pure awesome. He gave her a Mercedes as a wedding gift. He made this picture book with a their story in it. He had her read it to all the guest. About at the end of the book she started screaming/crying hysterically. He then leads her out to the parking lot of the reception site, (10 floor in Downtown San Jose) and she melted. God, I love moments like that.

Used the usual stuff.
5D
40D
50mm. 1.4
70~700 2.8 IS
light sticks
mad skills

Big thanks to Rob (Diggetydawg) for coming out to play on this one. Came through. A couple of his shots are on the blog.

CC's, comments welcome. Take care dudes and dudettes.

You knocked it out of the park... I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If you, Gabemc, and Tony Hoffer every teamed up... WHOA NELLY!

Personal faves... #1, 13, 14, & 21.

DOOOOOOOOOD!!!!

7-14-21 are my absolute favorites. And I have nothing to do with 7up or 711.

Why do you always leave me speechless? Freaking guy.

Well done Sam. Thanks for sharing. You are in a short list of people that routinely inspire me.

Dont like 18 though, only because I hate those ear thingies, make people look like borg drones.

I know I know I just like saying DOOOOOOD!!! when I have to exaggerate a sentence to the largest and biggest plethora of amazement meaning, word or phrase.

Now DUDE, where's my car? That's the proper way to use a less meaningful or highlighted expression.

But when I want to make a debate, I just say DOOD, you're wrong.

But for Mr. Mahoney, I'll try to keep it minimal in these forums. I think we have a deal

Great work yet again. I love the elevator shot and the individuals of the bridesmaids... great emotions from them.

Tim, you may be in luck in a few months. HassleHoff (aka Sam & Me), may have something in the works.

Yes, minimal is best when using the D word .. either way we both agree that Sam must have a pretty good camera.

A MERCEDES? WTF? I can only imagine the fee you cashed in on this one...!

I won't comment on what works, because that's almost everything. Perhaps just me, but #15, left image - it's an odd pose to find her in, if you know what I mean.

Good captures Sam and wow what a gift. My only question is why the hell would he be wearing a BT ear piece to his cell phone on his wedding day...come on...really!! Man I hate those things.

That's all...again well done.

Sam,

You seriously rocked this wedding. Sam's the man and I'm really honored to have the chance to have had worked with him.

As Mr. Hassas has already mentioned, their was electricity in the air after the whole Mercedes Benz show. Glad I was able to be apart of that.

Thanks for the shout out.
