The first photo really showed me the power of a lead photo into grabbing your attention to keep reading.

Wow, this film work is stunning! I love how you captured such unique perspectives and stories.

The detail colours in the detail shots and the bride portrait are so nice. Great work!

You mention that the couple already hired a photographer to shoot the wedding and this was a gift on top. Did you find it challenging to balance the couples' attention for your own creative shots with their attention to the other photographer? With time being so limited and all. Great shots! Really like the reflection on the limo window.

Great question. I wanted to make sure I didn't step on the toes of the actual photographers. So I would arrive earlier where I could, help them get their shots (moving things, posing their shots), and just be professional about asking for specific shots. The biggest advantage I had was knowing the shots I wanted ahead of time. Most of the frames were so planned that it was captured in a minute, if not seconds. The prep work makes a big difference.

Hi Gajan, which vision3 stock did you shoot?

I've been starting to use 250D and 500T for a few months now but I'm never really happy with how my scans turn out. Do you have any advice on how you grade yours?

This was a 250D from Silbersalz in Germany. They do some crazy work with motion picture film and have some incredible scanners. But I'm testing a new option here in Canada that's really promising. I'll definitely make a story here if it works out.

That groomsmen photo in the field is so baller! Nice to see someone stray away from the typical posed photos and see a couple immersed in their day.

Great post and fantastic frames. Would love to see a video about your off body flash setup for the M6 that you mentioned in the post.
