During every wedding I take a few thousand images. Between 3-4 usually, depending on the amount of time I’m hired for. Out of those images there are always a few I consider the perfect wedding take. Here are some perfect wedding takes I’ve captured over the years.

You never know who will show up to the wedding, so be prepared to take a lot of takes.

Steven Spielberg surprises the bride at her own wedding while filming Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull in New Haven CT. The expression on the brides and bridesmaids face makes this perfect wedding take priceless.

The bride and groom fight for a kiss as their wedding party tries desperately to pull them apart. The expressions on the bridesmaid’s and groomsmen’s faces make this wedding take perfect. This photo was taken in front of the beautiful Chez Josef in Agawam.

This photo was taken at the Amherst Women’s Club and is a classic example of a perfect wedding take, as you notice the joyous expressions on the guests and bride’s face.

The groom dips his bride under a beautiful oak tree as they share a romantic kiss. Showing how big, grand, and beautiful nature is in wedding images makes for some great wedding takes.

Sometimes the perfect wedding take happens in a split second, when the groom glances over at his beautiful bride.

How to capture the perfect wedding take.

1) Be equipped with a fast camera. Something in the range of a Canon or Nikon SLR.

2) Fast glass, meaning a lens that has an f-stop of 2.8 or higher. You’ll get a faster shutter speed at f2.8.

3) Bring plenty of compact flash cards with you so you can take lots of images and won’t run out when the perfect wedding take arises. Note: The higher the cameras megapixels, the more gigs you’ll need your compact flash cards to be. I recommend 2 to 8 gig cards.

4) External flash. Not the pop up flash that comes with the camera, but one that sits in the cameras hot shoe. This will allow you to use a faster shutter speed and produce more light in those dark reception halls.

5) When the bride smiles, you smile, by taking as many wedding takes that you can. You can never take too many wedding takes.

With the release of Iron Man 2 about a week away, what better way to celebrate it than to create a concept portrait of me as Peter Parker revealing myself to be Spider-Man.

Here’s how I pulled it off.

First – I hired the fabulous Massachusetts Portrait Photographer Lynn Quinlivan from Lynn Quinlivan Photography to take the portraits.

Second – I posed for the image wearing a red Batman t-shirt underneath my button up. I did this so the red would reflect a bit on my blue dress shirt.

Third – I took a picture of Spider-Man in the train scene of Spider-Man 2. Ironically the part where Peter Parker’s identity is revealed.

Fourth – I used photoshop to outline my shirt being revealed and replaced it with Spider-man’s suit on a separate layer. This took some stretching of the suit to match up with my body.

Fifth – I added shading around the outside of the suit to illustrate the shadows the dress shirt would of made, and to add realism to the image.

Lastly – I bumped the contrast of the suit to heighten the red color.

Before and After

Tell me what you think and let me know who your favorite super hero is and if you will be attending the Iron Man 2 premiere. I’ll chat with you all later, my spidey senses are tingling.

Cheers!

For our 200 post I’d like to feature my beautiful niece Hannah. H turned two this past weekend, and it was a perfect day for a birthday party. I loved capturing this lil one as she ran around popping bubbles, opening presents, and eating cupcakes. Here are a few moments I captured of little miss sunshine.
