Leaving Home

Shot my first wedding yesterday with my friend Kelly who's done several before; an extraordinary day, full of laughter and warmth depsite the all day rain, and having the ceremony/reception inside instead of out.

This is a quick grab of Christine as she's leaving her home, (taken while I was putting on my going to the wedding clothes at her house). A remarkable day, and we both thank you and your family for welcoming us as part of yours.

My immense respect for those who do nothing but this type of photography. I may not get out of my PJ's for a week :)

Canon EOS 5D
1/40s f/3.2 at 24.0mm iso500 full exif

Weddings are hard work and fun. You are right. This is great... wish you'd boost the gamma just a bit.

You know how much I love b&w photography.
This is so well balanced with the natural light getting inside the room.
Beautiful photo Karen. v
