Beach wedding

One of the hardest weddings I've ever shot. Not because of the couple, they were awesome, rather because of the conditions. The wind was blowing 25-30 non stop, it rained on and off, the humidity was off the charts and it was hot. Salt spray kept fogging my lenses and / or condensation would fog my glass if I carried my gear back and forth from the air conditioned venue. I ended up keeping one camera and clean glass inside and the others outside.

Anyway, here are just a few from the day.

Nice series. Even though it was tough conditions it looks like the weather contributed to a very nice sky!!!

My sentiments exactly, and love the ceremony picture taken from afar. Really sets a mood with the waves and cloud cover.

Yelp, just a terrific environment...

Hmmm, for a freebie "fun" shot for the newlyweds maybe a Viking ship, or a sea monster, or maybe some mermaids from the water in that landscape shot. Definitely a dramatic sky that's open for all kinds of things.

Awesome set!!

Great colors and shots. Love the use of the starfish and shell for the ring shot.

B&G can slap the fella in the back row that wasn't willing to give them their moment of the ceremony and instead had to pull out his phone for a shot!...Ocean, groomsmen a hottie in the row over...who knows.

I'm curious about the kid in the bright neon green. Is he providing structural support? Another task?

Regardless...great photos as always!

Structural support to help support the arch. I loaned the decorator two of my sand bags as well but the damn thing was still wanting to blow away.

Great colours and skin tones. Love number 8.

What setting do you shoot in? Shutter Priority?

I only shoot in manual mode.

That's amazing! Looking through the EXIF I don't think one photo has the same settings. How do you manage to work through the settings in such a fast pace as a wedding?

It's really not difficult. I dial in the aperture I want to shoot before bringing the camera to my eye, then adjust ISO and shutter speed for the ambient light. I can usually get pretty close to proper exposure without having to look thru the camera. After hundreds of thousands of exposures, you pick up a knack for it.

very nice work, you pulled thru nicely

Turned out pretty good. I bet you were in editing wishing that kid hadn't worn a safety green shirt! lol
Cool idea for the ring shot, would be better to see the diamond though.
