My 2nd wedding of the season was Ben & Molly’s back in early June. These two were about as cool as they come. Totally unique wedding full of personal touches, good music (their wedding song was Nothing Else Matters of pre-suck Metallica fame) and a sweet family full of photographers!

Photographers reading this might be thinking “ugh, that must have been awful…like 10 second shooters”. Nope. Photographers, I’ve found…in my very short career doing this…stay way out of the “official” photogs way. It’s those Uncle Bobs with the point and shoots that you have to worry about! These guys were great and it was fun to talk gear with them in between shooting.

Anyway, Ben rented some fun lenses for me and the guests to play with. I fell totally in love with the wide-angle. I believe it was a 10-20mm? I forget and I’m too lazy to look but it was something like that. A Sigma. I totally hogged it all day, sorry other photog guests.

It was a beautiful day, beautiful location (in Woods Hole, MA…on the Cape) and very relaxed.

All day Ben and I nerdily awaited the sunset for some Strobist-esque shots (we’re both fans of the blog) and while it wasn’t as colorful as I’d have liked, we got some of my absolute favorite shots…when my craptastic Poverty Wizard V2′s would fire, anyway. (I just got the V4s…more on that later.)

Here’s an example of where my flash was, behind a shoot-through umbrella:

Congratulations Ben & Molly, thanks for having me! You guys were a blast!

EDIT: Duane (Ben’s Dad) was kind enough to send me the lens info on that wide-angle, it was a Tokina 11-16 F2.8 ATX DX PRO. It was a fun lens. Duane also sent a bunch of pics of my husband and I working, which are so cool! Thanks, Duane!! Duane is also a very talented photographer, check out his portfolio here.
