A few weekends ago I went with students from The Corcoran on the yearly apple picking trip. Like any college, The Corcoran is always looking for images of happy students participating in school activities, and the trip was a great opportunity for that.

Here are a few of my favorite images from Heather and Noah's wedding from a few weekends ago. They were both great to work with and I was able to get some fun images of their day.

More photos from the wedding can be found in my wedding galleries

At a recent wedding I shot, the bride asked me if i would be able to set up a simple photo booth in addition to my regular wedding coverage. Never having set up a photo booth before, my inner photo geek came out as I tried to figure out a way to set it up.

Because it was my first time attempting this, I kept the whole thing fairly basic. I set up the rig in a gazebo not far from the tent where the reception would be. The gazebo gave people a confined place to stand for the booth, and had an outlet to power the laptop. The camera was triggered by a remote cord (visible in the upper left photo), and the photos would then display on the connected laptop. I uploaded them to a web gallery later that night.

There was a steady stream of people taking pictures throughout the evening, and judging by the number of pictures taken, I think it was a hit. I'm currently looking for ways to improve the setup so I can provide prints instantly and give the booth a more finished feel to it.

I shot the wedding of Marisa Day and Jon Martin a few weeks ago. They were married on Marisa's family farm in rural Virginia. I arrived at the farm about an hour earlier than I needed to so that I could unload my equipment and scout the area. The ceremony was held just outside the house and the reception was in a huge tent set up in the field adjacent to their garden. We found three to four locations that would be suitable for the image of the entire bridal party (ten bridesmaids and six groomsmen), and a few that would work best for just the smaller groups.

My favorite location by far was an old tractor and barn in a field near to the farmhouse. The tractor was old, and rusty, but is still in use by Marisa's family. Marisa and Jon were happy to take the walk with me to get the pictures. I've been trying to get a few large format images at each wedding I've shot recently. When we got to the tractor I shot everything I needed with my SLR and then broke out the 4x5 to make a few extra frames.

Later this week I'll be posting more images from this wedding.
