Photo Challenge: Matrimony
Posted by Kit Richert — 15 Jun 2009
This week's Photo Challenge: Matrimony calls for your best photograph from a wedding day: any scene, any moment.
Weddings are big business for photographers, especially in the summer months. Shooting a wedding professionally is almost always a 'photo challenge', as it requires extensive preparation, and the right gear to capture a variety of shots. You need to be ready to shoot in daylight, twilight, or (the unforeseen) afternoon drizzle. There are the traditional wedding party portraits to be taken, the shots at the alter, the first dance, as well as all the unanticipated moments and emotions that may be captured candidly.
