Wedding Contact Sheet

This past summer I upgraded my scanner to one that can handle 4x5 film.  I recently discovered that along with the ability to scan my 4x5's , it can also help me create substitute contact sheets for any 35mm film I shoot. These have been very helpful in determining what and what not to scan. 

The below is a scan of negatives from Joel and Chelsie's wedding.  Normally I only shoot digitally at weddings with a few sheets of 4x5 film thown in.  At this wedding I shot a few rolls of 35mm to go along with the rest of what I shot.

Joel and Chelsie's Wedding

Before my life as a photographer, I studied aerospace engineering briefly at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL. I was there for two years, and did more math than I ever hope to do again. I didn't like the engineering part of my time in Florida, but I did meet a few interesting people while I was there. My friend Joel was one of the first people I met when I moved in, and he was just married last weekend. Joel and Chelsie's wedding was one of the most relaxed weddings I've been to.

Joel and Chelsie's Photo Booth

Joel and Chelsie's wedding was on Halloween, and they encouraged guests to dress up in costumes.

I set up a photo booth at their wedding, and it was a big success with the guests. I think I've worked out all the kinks in setting it up and running smoothly. All that's left to do is make the booth look pretty on the outside.

Wedding at the Peabody Library

Last weekend I shot Ben and Christine's wedding at the Peabody Library in Baltimore. The lighting in the library was fairly dim, so I ended up setting up a few small strobes to light the alter. I kept the power low on the lights so that they wouldn't be distracting to the participants, and would balance easily with the ambient light. The effects of the flash can be seen in the second picture.

Maurer - Raskin Wedding at the Birkby House

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.
