I dont do weddings *56K go make a sanwich*

[JasonRussell]

But if it comes down to friends needing help, Im there for em.

Just thought I would share a few from the 2 weddings I did this year.

First was for a friend of my girlfriend. Their photog backed out 1 week before the wedding leaving them with no time to find a replacement. I did not meet anyone till the morning of the wedding (5 hours away from where I live). It was a young couple who wanted a fun wedding and pictures to express just that.

Dress shot. The house had no good windows to use so I threw my medium soft box behind it and used that for light

Next was actually from my girlfriends sister who has seen my photography and didnt want anyone else to do it.



Same situation. A young couple who just wanted to have a fun wedding and pictures to prove it.

Theres alot more but I have never shared any wedding shots here so I thought Id toss a few out. Please let me know what you think. Just remember, I dont make a living shooting weddings thank god :p

[_aravena]

Very nicely done. I can't wait till my outside shoot. I hate the indoor one I did. Nice shots though.

[JasonRussell]

Thanks. They are far from my "good" shots but Its what I had on the computer..lol. Just wanted to share some fun pictures.

[picturecrazy]

haha i like shot of the guy about to jump over the rail.
I've been thinking of doing something very similar. maybe I'll do it next time.

Minolta 7D? Where's the 1D that's in your sig?

[auroraskye]

It was a spur of the moment idea.

My Minolta took a fall out of my closet one day so all my Minolta stuff has been sold and is slowly being replaced by Canon now. I have yet to do a wedding with my Canon gear as I dont have enough gear and its winter time :)

[_aravena]

Well send the minolta stuff my way! :D

That's classic with the guy going over the railing.

[JasonRussell]

haha.

Only things I have left is a 28-105 sigma and a 28mm 2.8 Minolta. Oh and an off shoe cord for a flash.

Another one of the jumper.

From that hight it's look more like a wedding and a suicide.. :)

Love the jumper shots also...

[cdifoto]

I'm with the others. The suicidal groom shot made me snort. :lol: The vows shot really hits a homer too. Nice one.

[Anke]

Lovely shots, Jason. That "vows" shot is an absolute winner!!! Great job!! :D

[blackwell17]

HAHA!! I love these!!

I agree, the vows shot is absolutely AWESOME! Good work!

[JasonRussell]

Thanks everyone. Im always trying new things. I still havent reached that point where I think Im "good enough" but Im working on it every chance I get.

[DVS_WiNdz]

great shots, the jumper shot is quite hilarious
