Great work. I love film and Tri-X was a good choice for this assignment. The shots of the guys enjoying a drink out on the terrace and the next one of the bride and groom hugging with the Martini glass in the foreground are particularly strong. I also like the movement and timeless quality of the couple having their first dance – I presume. Great to see people using film and using it well. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jeahn,

We used Tri-X film in a Leica M6, with my old 35/1.4 sumilux. That lens flares a lot and gets soft when wide open but that adds to the fealing.

Of course, the camera is backed up by 5 years in school, summers at newspapers, winters browsing photo books, and a lot of really bad photos in preparation for these few good ones.

have you ever been to a wedding where the photographer tells everyone to jump in the air.. ( and you’re wearing 4 inch heels) to get a “good shot”? how about photographers that tell you to “pretend to talk to each other” so it looks like a candid shot of you all talking,… and it’s completely awkward because you don’t know the guy next to you so all you say is ‘how bout them dolphins?’

if you’re the couple that just wants someone to capture the moment… instead of creating a fake moment to capture.. select ceremony peeps = ed and david are your guys!

As a recent bride, I must say that I have nothing but praise for these two dudes. We were planning a Miami wedding from washington DC, so I found most of my vendors online. I found Ed on a photojournalist’s website.. and after meeting him once, we just knew he was the sorta photographer we wanted… he’s completely relaxed, not spacey, and actually listens to you and stays calm as you rant and rave about what you were looking for in a photographer.. so we booked him two weeks after meeting him..

He periodically checked in with us throughout the year to update us on his latest contact information ( which is a lifesaver when you’re still looking for florists who aren’t charging 5K to do your flowers). And when the week of the wedding came, we had a minor email “check-in” and he was at my door at the correct time the day of the wedding.

Now the goods: yes, the pics were all that i was expecting and more. yes, he did the posed family shots ( that most mothers want on their walls and makes like a million of them to pass around to family), yes , he REALLY did real candid shots of people enjoying themselves. yes, he was a gentlemen and didn’t try to sneak a peek at me while i was trying to squeeze into my gown, and best of all : he caught the moments perfectly – without the pics of me chewing on chicken or eating a really hard piece of bruschetta..

so if you’re looking for a good photographer, someone who can compromise with your demanding family, but still put their artistic spin into their photos, choose select ceremony for hassle free photos!
