• Northern California Wedding Fun

  I had the pleasure of assisting and helping shoot a wedding up north in Petaluma, California with my good friend Clark Woolsey the other day. It was a 12 hour shoot with a wonderful Godly couple and wedding party. The countryside of Sebastapool, California was so pretty, every turn we made we saw photo opps. It was like going back in time to the 1800′s and the 1950′s too. Clark had photographed for this family before and to assist him is like watching an artist at work! He has a completely different style than how I shoot and has been the only photographer I have assisted in the past 20 years. It was really hard for me to just let go and let someone else be in charge, but after a short time I realized how much fun it was for me to just shoot from the sidelines and not be under any pressure. Here are some images that I captured for Clarks clients. Hope you like them, they were my first ever taken with all of my new Canon 5D cameras and lenses. I shot almost the entire time with NO FLASH, the 5D is an amazing camera and I was amazed on how it captured such low light shots just perfectly with so much ease. If you’re wondering how tall I am from the second photo I took of Clark shooting the girls, that’s my new idea of a sky-cam, I have a 5D camera on a Mono-Pod 12 feet in the air with a 15mm 2.8 Canon Fisheye attached shooting with the 10 second timer on the camera. I also used it for the ceremony when the bride was coming down the isle, you can see the entire church full of guests, totaly an awesome shot that normally a video crew at the Oscars might do.
