A Weekend Wedding in Missouri
While I have been in Park City, Utah shooting sports, my cousin had his wedding in Missouri over the weekend. I was finally going to get a chance to put my new Nikon D3 to the test. Still keeping to the train of thought that less is more, I decided to only take my Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 (because i haven’t had a chance to get the 24-70mm yet) and my Nikon 85mm f/1.8. I didn’t want to go as the official photographer because at family functions, I want to enjoy myself and chat with the cousins I haven’t seen in a long time, in addition to having no pressure.
To start off I must say that I love the duel memory card feature on the D3. I plan on keeping them both filled, and then whenever I notice it go to the second card, I will just replace the card in the first slot when I get a chance. I think this is better than pretending I have an 8 gig card in there, because you can still get caught in the middle of something important.
I decided to keep quite during the ceremony, but quickly raised my camera for the “And I now pronounce you, husband and wife…” Wow they were happy. After doing a few family photos of our own, we headed to the reception, where delicious food awaited. The newly weds had a blast walking in, and even more fun cutting the cake. I love it when you can sit back and just snap photos, because their happiness makes the image work!
Looking forward to shooting many more weddings with this beast, maybe yours can be next!
