Rachel and Mark

At the end of August, I had the privilege of photographing Rachel & Mark's wedding images. They're such a sweet couple and were so delightful to work with. Sometimes, the groom is a bit camera shy and eager to escape. Mark was up for whatever we wanted to capture and just kept the most amazing smile on his face the whole time. Ahhh, new love.

Their wedding took place in the Washington DC Temple and this first image I want to share is in front using my fish-eye lens. I love the fish-eye lens. I can't shoot a ton of images with it, but it does make the few special. I love that I can stand 2 feet in front of my subject and get everything around me. It was a beautiful day.



This next image captures the happiness on Mark's face. As with many reception sites, we had limited areas that were great for photography - here we're standing in a side garden next to the building. You can make pretty much any place work, if you know where and what to look for.



This final image is a detail shot of their rings. Have you noticed that the "hot" choice for men's rings these days is tungsten? I think my last 4 or 5 grooms have all had tungsten rings. Mark and Rachel had this lovely little statue next to their wedding cake, and it was a perfect spot to isolate and highlight their rings.



They had a fabulous honeymoon in Jamaica and are currently finishing their schooling.
