Here are some of my favorite photos from the group portraits session.  Some of these (mostly when it’s a group photo) were me “stealing” a setup that the official photographer had already set up.  Many of the shots with one or two people are quick shots I grabbed while others were being shot by the official photographer.  This is one of the reasons why people who have photographer friends are so lucky.  I was able to capture tons of shots that the photographer couldn’t because she just couldn’t be in two places at once.

And so the ceremony began, starting with the couples approaching the aisle. I was able to get some great shots because I was using both my Rebel XT and Rebel XTi with the EF 28-105mm (and the lens hood to help mitigate lens flare) on one camera and the Tamron 55-200mm on the other.  This allowed me to get close up shots no mater where the subjects happened to be standing.

Jen was no where to be found at the wedding location because she was actually across the lake for her grand entrance.  None of the guests at the wedding knew about this so everyone was very excited.  I went on to the docks to photograph her entrance.

Our good friend Jennifer Bonass got married a couple weekends ago.  The wedding was out in Chestertown, Maryland - out near Ocean City.  Since there’s only one bridge to get there, we left early to make sure we’d get there on time.  We got there insanely early (1-1.5 hours early) so I decided to take some photos of the setup to pass the time.  Turned out to be a great thing I was there early because the official photographer was with Jen and they were at another location so I was the only one to get these shots.  Here are some of my favourites.
