Jaquee and Bryan's self portraiture

The cake had been cut, the toasts well-cheered, and Bryan could relax with his friend the bride.

We're using Bryan's flash for the main light, exposure balanced to the room light. I just turned off my flash for the shot, dialed in a suffienctly long exposure so that my shutter was open when his flash fired. A natural extension of working with the Pocket Wizards, only I didn't feel like setting up the PWs to his flash. Which wouldn't have worked anyway, since he was in fact making self-portraits at the time.

Jaquee and Sol asked Bryan to photograph their wedding. Bryan invited me along to help with the gig - a classy party up at Alta Lodge. Some unusual (for Utah) aspects, like the bride descending the stairs to the bellowing of a conch shell, and a Tibetan chant in mid-ceremony, but Jaquee and Sol's love for each other would have shone out in a city hall quickee marriage. J&S: Thanks for letting me be a part of your wonderful day!

Jacquee:

Thanks so much Ann! I'm so happy and excited that you and Bryan were there. We had so much fun and you and Bryan were the defnition of what Solomon and I wanted our wedding photographers to be. I can't wait to see more images!
