looking good Damion

Mainly the bessa r3a and 40mm nokton.

The above was with the gr1.

Just to make things more difficult also took my canon ae1-p and t4.

Oh, and Polaroid 680.

Most bases covered!

Nice Sir.
I'm just off the island today and down to Whitby in Ingerland for a wedding on Friday of an old cycling pal who works for the British team.
I'm taking the Kowa 6. And a Fujica 35mm, oh, and Minolta 505 with a Zorki6 as back-up and the kievII backing that up. With the ultra wide and slim in my handbag. And some film. Bound to be a disaster :-(

Andrea, I assume that you bag has a similar capacity to Mary Poppin's carpet bag!

Those are fantastic images Damion!!! Are you a professional wedding photographer? Sorry if thats a stupid question. Im new here. 
I was just curious if you were a professional wedding photographer that uses film most of the time and if you feel like there is a higher demand for your work because of the fact that you use film, aside from your obvious skill in taking great pix.
Im too afraid of shooting weddings here in the states. Clients will rip the shirt off your back out here if you are unfortunate enough to lose their pix, even if your gear gets stolen, so I wont do them, but I love family and kid portraiture and just had a great senior pix session with a friend from kung fu. Im just curious if I should be spinning the film angle to help get more work and wondering if you do, and if that works for you.

Thank you!!!

kind of like a horror movie, where the creatures get closer every time you blink.

Cheers for positive comments, makes me feel a little easier
About it all.   

Professional?   I'm about a million miles away from that I think.  A lot of these were lucky,  I even contacted the leon Taylor photographic helpdesk an hour or so before it started to ask about how to set the lens at f8 and infinity and also if an orange filter was a good idea.  Ballpark me, through and through.

On plus side metro in brum hasn't closed so will be able to get my E6 sorted.  Group shots.....nervous.

Im sure they'll be great!!! And thanks for giving me the skinny. I think I'll try to get more film shots myself before I try to lure in prospective clients by saying I use it.

One thing's for sure, he must be a really nice guy to marry such a cute girl!

Some nice results. Personally, wedding photography doesn't interest me much although I have snapped away at a couple of friends weddings. At the last one however I got bored, so decided to turn it into a project with my Diana - a ghostly wedding. The bride was not best pleased when she saw the results, as I'd purposely beheaded her  

[Mojave]

I like the cut of your jib Suzi! All Bridezillas should be photographically beheaded.

[Diane Peterson]

off with her head! Great Halloween idea! 

[Mojave]

Yeah it does! Oh, the possibilities... 

[SuziLivingstone]

Yeah it does! Oh, the possibilities... 

Strangely enough, I haven't been invited to photograph anyone else's wedding.. not since the last one when I did a portrait of a miserable looking guest and entitled it "Always the bridesmaid, never the bride" 

[Mojave]

HAHAHAHA!!! Oh man, that got me laughing.

[jojonas~]

good one suzi
