Friday with Erin and Chris at Notre Dame
I'm not sure if I had my camera down outside of being home or being in the car this weekend! It was a unique weekend regardless of the unique date and we had some untraditional wedding photos to show for it.
I started the weekend off with a colleague providing a second angle at Erin & Chris' wedding. What I didn't know was that I would see the florist and the minister again the next day at a different church. This is where the deja vu and the fun begins.
Motion. Call me strange but I love ambient, low light, and motion. This shot has it all. I only added the border in Photoshop, the rest is via a slowed shutter speed and following he moving bride and dad. (Nerdy, and I love using these techniques!)
The "small world feeling" I've already come to know and love is getting more intense this summer. Friday at Notre Dame's Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Rev. Michael Matthews, a friend and travel companion to Chris, shared a wonderful homily of the complimentary personalities and the balance of bride and groom in the union of marriage. Unknown to me until Saturday afternoon, he would also officiate for Tracy and Andrew at his home church Holy Cross the next day.
Part one of unusual locations - ND locker room and into the tunnel! The infamous "Play Like a Champion Today" sign waiting for a smack from every passing person. (I had what, 2 cameras and 4 lenses on me trying to photograph the wedding party and the couple while staying out of the other photog's view... I may have run into the wall but no sign swat from me.)
In the tunnel! We got to go onto the football field for portraits and I loved this silhouette in the tunnel with the library mural adding color to the background. (One of those views I never saw as a fan in the stands!)
Ever since the last time I photographed a reception at the Woodward Room in downtown South Bend I've appreciated the balance of the warm window light and the soft interior glow. As a second photographer I focus on these available light, artistic ideas that get stuck in my mind's eye while telling the day's story.
