Wedding tuxedo going on the groom's baby - f/5.6 ISO 200 1/160th Strobist: SB-800 resting on bed + natural window lightI had never seen an infant baby being dressing in a tuxedo before. While photographing a recent wedding in St. Petersburg there was a lot of time to photograph both the bride and groom getting ready, as well as their infant son. After getting dressed himself, the groom started to dress his son. The order he chose for getting dressed was perhaps unwise as the baby threw up onto his dad's shirt in the process. Luckily, another suitable shirt was on hand for the groom to change into with only a small spot on the baby's shirt that no one would notice.
Babies dominate attention, and even on the couple's wedding day I felt more people were excited about seeing and holding the baby than perhaps the wedding itself. I am of course immune to this power baby's seem to have and was drawn to photograph him more because of his unusual attire and the fact his father was dressing him and soon to be married. That was a scene I had not witnessed before and was the source of my interest photographically.
Sandpiper Tradewinds twilight wedding couple - f/5.6 ISO 800 1/60th Strobist: SB-800 at 1/2 power to frame rightFor a brief few minutes the couple and I after their wedding ceremony had time for a few romantic shots. I wonder on the baby's wedding day if he will show any photographs of himself that I took at his parent's wedding during the reception slideshow?
