OH BOY- yesterday was a first for me

Wow! What a great story! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thats an incredible story, glad everything turned out. I had a shoot yesterday and it was around 100, its unbelievably hot this spring, what gives?!

Poor thing! Glad she made it to the reception and everything was OK! I guess I won't ever complain that it's too cold again!

Cool story, glad she's ok. If it were me I wouldn't want the photos up, i'd probably black out the faces or something.

They are pretty cool about it. I spoke to the groom the next morning. I was checking to see how she was doing. I reminded him that we took some ER photos and asked if he still wanted me to include them. He said, "are you kidding. Hell yes. Thats the highlight of the day. Were gonna laugh about this for a long time".

Great sense of humor. Forrest Gump said it best -- "S*!T happens"

Cool photos! And glad to hear the bride is ok.

So, what settings do you use for ER Wedding photography? What lenses did you use? I have the 18-55mm kit lens. Is that going to be enough, or would you recommend me renting something better for the ER? Do I need a flash?

Glad the bride was ok in the end. Hat off to you for going the extra mile

wow incredible story, good to hear your EMT skills helped out in the momentary crisis, well done!

glad to hear the ending was good,

LMAO,,,toooooo funny.

You should have seen the look on the ER docyors face when i told him- " hey doc, shes got 250 people waiting on her at her recepton. Give her an IV and something so she wont puke so she can make it back. She cant miss her reception". He looked at me like WTF. Then he said, i'll see what i can do. They were all hauling butt in there but the body only sucks down IV juice so fast. ER room did a steller job getting her up and going. Mad props to them.

the more important question is did the OP get a release first BEFORE shooting in the ER? I mean come on, there's rules people!!

Great. Now all our brides are going to expect us to be trained to do resucitation! Way to go, Mike!
