My first Leica Wedding!

Wow!! Instant reply. Thank you EcoLeica. I always imagine wedding shooters with their pro DSLRs and pockit wizards :eek:. Multiple flashes with brollies etc etc. So nice to know that doing it old school gives very very nice results. I will seek out this 400h film. I really love the colors. ;)
 
Congrats, I'm hoping to do the same shortly. I've got several weddings booked in the next year and I'll do them digital but I want to see if I can get a client to try film. I just got my M3 serviced and am looking for an excuse to get a second M body - needing a wedding backup would be just the ticket!

Nice shots to be sure. But a question. Were you the "designated" photographer for the wedding? Or were you meanly shooting some shots for yourself?

The reason I ask and granted I saw very few shots of what might be a MUCH larger collection but I don't think I have ever seen a set of wedding photo's so geared towards the groom with so little converage of the Bride.

I know for the weddings I have shot the bride would have disassmbled me had I ended up not consintrating on her for 75%+ of the photo's

Just curious.
 
Thanks Mark, yes i would have covered the bride more but as I said in my first post I was one of two shooters for the wedding, with the other guy covering the bride
 
Very nice work, Steve. I've not seen a lot of wedding photo work. But your shots seem very thoughtful, and creative. Atypical. Also, the color is beautiful. You can be proud of the results.

Don't need to chase the most expensive brand, today you can have a good slr system for nothing! Getting a fixed lens RF could be also a cheap but good backup.
 
Fine work, Steve! Great to see that a Leica and a couple of lenses can do work as fine as any out there! Please keep posting your projects!

congrats eco, they are great, documentary type wedding photography in my opinion is where the future is at.
 
Excellent images Steve, I'd love to see much more !!!

Thanks a lot for the inspiration, and thanks for sharing with us :)
 
Hi Steve,
That is really stunning wedding pictures with the M6.
I have the M6 too but shame of me that I haven't use it on a wedding before.
 
I encourage anyone with a leica M to give a wedding a go sometime! I find it a shame that few think the M is suited poorly for wedding snaps. Even though it isnt the quickest or most modern thing around, its size more than makes up for its short comings!
