This wedding was referred to me last minute because the couple's photographer canceled on them. I usually like to get to know people before I shoot their wedding to get a better feel of what is important to them, but I also didn't want them to not be able to find a photographer. It turned out well because it was a small wedding, and I didn't have to run around worrying I might miss something with my limited knowledge of their family dynamics. These two photos are a good indication of how I shot the wedding since I didn't do much in the way of artistic implements. (These are also a good indication of how I have been feeling in general about event and portrait photography. I think that sometimes less is more since I have been seeing a lot of over-processing in images, and I find myself more and more drawn to my journalistic school of thought than to the artistic one. I do enjoy using some of these effects on certain photographs which lend themselves to such, but as a rule of thumb I try not to use them for more than just a handful of images of a whole event).
