Been a couple years since I've been on the forums and the best I can do is instagram?
Blasphemy!
Regardless, it is a good day when you are asked to "go nuts" shooting a friends wedding. 4x5 seemed appropriate.
So yah, share your process because...hell...you don't just get selenium poisoning; you have to earn it.

Talk about a "shot across the bow" to wedding photography norms! Was it a press style (ie. Crown Graphic) or studio/rail style rig?

Used a Wista field with a 150mm SK 5.6 on a tripod with hp5.
Most of the wedding was shot digitally but I scoped out a few locations the day before. had my assistant run ahead and take readings and text them to me and also had the movements planned ahead of time; with that in mind, most of the adjusting was done walking between locations.
Everything went smoothly and the rest of the wedding party were pretty tickle by the thing and their joking and question made the focusing/setup time fly by (did cost me a few frames though haha)
Don't shoot many weddings and this will likely be the last one and I agreed to do it only as a favor. I would post more photos but my scanner is currently down.
Hardest wedding I ever did was an alternative process only affair. They insisted on tin-types and daguerreo only. Met them half way with wet plate and Holgas with normal shooting being a cross between film and digital. Put me in the hospital. Shot half the event with an RZii/metered prizm/grip/shade/motordrive all hand held and pulled every muscle across my chest. Lessons learned

On a side note, After that I traded my entire RZ kit in for a 35 3.5 summaron out of frustration. Still feel I got taken for a ride as the store told me they were cutting a deal. And that is why I will never sell or exchange gear at any shop ever again.
