Seth Campbell and Kristin Schild Wedding

Jon Reece Link to Jon's site and I Link to my site shot a wedding this weekend at the beautiful Ducktrap Resort in Maine. Seth and Kristin brought two amazing families together and we were honored to document the day.

It was an incredibly difficult wedding to shoot. Most challenging was intense midday sunlight. Here is one shot of the Groom and his groomsmen after the wedding. Fun stuff but the light was difficult. It was about 4:30 but the contrast was still too much for the camera. The shadows and highlights were blowing out simultaneously which means that the dynamic range of the scene was beyond the capabilities of the sensor. In that case all I could do was split the difference and hope to recover most of it in post processing. Thankfully the important details of this series was salvageable. As you can see, the shadow's on Seth's (groom in front) have gone to black. In print this will not have detail. A minor nitpick but one that you need to be aware of as you shoot.

And a stunning image taken by Jon while I held a reflector. The sun was incredibly intense that day (F11 1/250 at ISO 100).
