wedding on film

I know I've been the worst blogger of all time, but WE GOT A HOUSE!  Well, not technically I guess, not until we close, and apparently the closing date is subject to change?  madness. 

so in hopes to make up for my time gone, here are some of the wedding photos I took on film from this wedding, as promised. 

I always tell people that film and digital are like twins.  for everyone unfamiliar with it, it may be hard to tell them apart, but to someone who is with them all the time, they are completely and totally different. 

(confession:  I STILL can't tell the olsen twins apart if they have the same hair color, which really says a lot since I grew up watching them solve any crime by dinner time.)

I was assisting Ashley of 41st Avenue Photography for this shoot so my shots are pretty random, just whenever I could pick up my film camera and snap.  you like that ONE PHOTO I got from the reception of the soda bar down there at the bottom?

so, can you tell a difference between this post's pictures and this one?

Joe and someone ELSE'S fiance.

apparently the real fiance couldn't make it.

which is why I'm amazed at how well these turned out, despite the fact that she is indeed engaged to another, likely just as colorful, gentleman.  he wore ray-bans and orange pants.  she wore an orange feather in her hair to match.

I love fake wedding shoots that I wish were real ones.....

friday favorites

a little bit of this and a little bit of that

last weekend I had the awesome opportunity to assist Ashley Henry, photographer and owner of  41st Avenue Photography with her most recent wedding.  it. was. awesome.  totally crazy, but awesome.  It was so fun to see a pro wedding shooter at work!  She was an absolute delight, and even helped the entertainment by falling in the pool during the reception.  so. funny. (camera was okay, duh.  otherwise I wouldn't mention it in hopes it would be forever forgotten).  but not this.  no, no.  we must remember this for always.

it was really interesting to see how much better my digital images came out once I had the new film mind frame. (ie don't be afraid to up your ISO).  but it was equally incredible to realize how completely opposite it is to shoot digital after shooting film (err on the side of UNDER exposing in digital, OVER exposing in film). 

I didn't take many shots, but I sure love the ones I got!  see Ashley's amazing shots from the wedding over on Ashley's blog.

Here are just a couple digitals that I loved.

cannot WAIT to see my film.  if I did everything right (which is highly unlikely), it will be absolutely magical.  stay tuned.

black and white wedding

I seriously didn't know people could be this beautiful!  I was really disappointed that I had black and white film in my camera for these two, because they were so impeccably dressed and her bright red lipstick was stunning, but I could NOT be more happy with the way they turned out.  I absolutely love b&w.
