[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One of the guys that works for me got married last October, he had plenty of photographers to cover the event, but I brought my camera just in case I might see something for me.

Kevin thought ahead about how he wanted his wedding album to look. He hired a couple pros, let a couple friends practice and also left disposable cameras on each table at the reception so he would have plenty of choice. It worked out for me, too, because as the night wore on and folks left (it was a work night), his new step-daughter noticed that there was plenty of film left over in those disposables. Peyton started shooting those up and pretty soon the other kids got in on the fun. Peyton took her job as de facto wedding photographer seriously, as you can tell in this candid grab shot.

The other little girl was posing like she was Madonna or something! I don't know how many times Peyton took her picture before I noticed and quickly grabbed my camera - I was lucky to get this one.

I bounced my flash off the ceiling so I could preserve the tones of the kid's skin and Peyton's silk dress.

Hope you enjoy it!

Hi Reed,

this is marvelous shot of the young wedding photographer and her model. Beautiful double portrait Reed, colours are gorgeous and I absolutely love their expressions... very well done!

Have a nice weekend,

Stasa

I love the pose here, very interesting, but my my screen it looks as though they have a very bad sunburn. They are pinkish red. Maybe I will try a WS...maybe it's my screen! Who knows! They can put a man on the moon, but they can't get monitor screens to sync! ARRGG! Oh well, Cute shot! I love wedding pics!

Hi Reed
A great shot... they do start young these days..! The idea of disposable cameras is fantastic as you'll get all sorts of pics being taken that the pro's don;t look for. And to have your camera there too takes in the middle ground.
