Lawrence was shooting as the main photographer so I had the chance to pull out the BIG GUNS. This series was shot entirely with a Mamiya AFD III, 80mm f1.9 and a Leaf Aptus 28mp Digital Back. It give a bokeh that only available to medium format shooters, the 80mm f1.9 is the fastest medium format lens you can get your hand on. The raw file from the digital back is a delight to work with, the dynamic range, color and details really shows up the capability of the Leaf Aptus Digital Back.

I’ve only use the Leaf when I’m on a commercial/advertisement shoot, somehow I’ve never used it for a wedding shoot before. I guess it is just a mind set that I need a fast shooting camera for wedding. Shooting with the Leaf is slow and deliberate, sounds corny but it almost seems like shooting film. I guess my couples will be seeing more of this camera in future shoots.

We are delighted to share with all of you that 3 of our photos won a placing in the Artistic Guild Wedding Photojournalist Association (AG|WPJA) 4th Quarter 2010 Contest. The news came in over the weekend and here are the photos that stood out from the rest that came in from worldwide.

6th Place: Kids (Being Kids)

17th Place: Reception

13th Place: Creative Portrait

This is one of the more pleasant wedding shows we’ve done, the mood is really relaxing, I can feel that the couple as well as the vendors had a good time. It has been quite a while since we started working on this wedding show, so it is good to see it come to such wonderful fruition. Lois and Clarice from Eternally Yours were darlings to work with. From my experience of the way they treat their working partners, I can full heartedly recommend them for your wedding !

For this wedding show we did 4R sized instantprints. Most recent inquiries for instantprints were asking for 4R sized prints so the event gave me a good chance to test out the system and I’m really pleased with the quality of the photos. I dare they they look almost like a lab print. For a wedding event I’m confident they will stand up to the workload.

If the demand for prints is heavier, we can always hook up with a mini lab and that’s what we will be doing for a MEGA 5 STATION INSTANTPRINT wedding coming on the 10th of October !

I found some nice wedding quotes online today though I’ll share them with you…
