Kelly, my oldest niece and god-daughter, was married this weekend in Hamden, Connecticut. My husband and I arrived at the hotel in Orange on Friday afternoon and were back in St. Louis by 2 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. Between those times was a fun meal at The Chowder Pot with my two brothers, sister-in-law JoAnn, and niece Stephanie on Friday evening... an extended "photo shoot" with Steph after breakfast on Saturday morning... and the nuptuals at 1 p.m., followed by the wedding reception at 5 p.m. We had to pack Saturday night after getting back to the hotel from the reception (so that we could get our wake-up call at 5 a.m. and make it to the airport on time!). WHEW!
In the week before the trip, I'd looked forward to taking photos of people I don't get to see very often for this assignment. I wanted to be able to get really good shots at this really special event! My task was to experiment with ISO camera settings in bright outdoor and low inside lighting... and at close, wide angle, and telephoto ranges.
On the way to the hotel, I practiced my bright daylight and close range shots in the car, using my genial hubby as a model. You can view the rest of that short series here.
