Wedding Photography

I really don’t shoot weddings. My love is shooting sports with baseball being on top of that list. When I heard about a wedding taking place at a baseball field I knew that I wanted to photograph it. It was a unique venue for a wedding for sure. There were three photographers on the field with a couple more in the stands. The event was well covered so I tried to just capture moments. The one above during the father/daughter dance is one of those. Without having to make all of the posed portraits it freed me up to have a fun day. It also freed up my hard drive of having to store all of the posed photos. When you have multiple photographers you just have to delegate responsibility. With multiple faces to look at the people in the shot don’t know where to look. Later that night I had a shot lined up for the Lafayette Brawlin’ Dolls who I shoot for. With two photographers on them they were looking both ways which made for a photo that really cannot be used. Multiple photographers is a great concept if the photographers work together. If you want to see a few more of the photos that I took yesterday I have posted about 20 on my Facebook page here.

Shooting Video With the Canon 5D Mark III

The photo above was made while I was shooting video. I have not really messed with video on the 5D very much, but I played around with it before the wedding started. I decided to try and shoot some video during the wedding. The problem is that when I see a moment I snap a photo. The above picture is one of those times. The video momentarily pauses though which is a slight problem. I think that I am too ingrained as a photographer to try video right now. The camera does a great job though, and even delivers a great RAW file during the video. I have never regretted buying the camera.
