Can you imagine what it was like to have been photographing a wedding in Sichuan, China when 7.9 earthquake hit and shakes for three minutes with the entire church crashing down?

Go look at the rest of the pictures.

Dru Lattin and Lisl Graber were a brave young couple that decided to let me shoot their wedding… by myself! Dru is a good friend who was with me at both IGo and SMBI. My flight was canceled and I got to the wedding about 15-20 minutes before it started. They pulled someone else–Josh–aside who had an XTi and asked him to shoot the portraits beforehand. Josh (and Brittney, who used his camera) also shot throughout the wedding then, which was a relief to me: to have someone else shooting in case I missed stuff. I had borrowed Sommers’ flash bracket and Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L. An unfortunate thing was that I didn’t understand the interplay between AV mode and flash. I used AV some of the time to get full use of that wonderful 2.8 and thus set my shutter speed to dismal speeds, messing up a number of pictures. I now understand how AV mode works with flash and I sort of understand the logic behind making AV work that way, but not totally, and I’m still bitter. Anyway, enough story and photographic technicalities, and let me show you the pics. (All pictures were taken by me, except where noted otherwise.)

I need lots and lots of critique from photographer and non-photographer alike.

This picture was taken by Josh, but I take half credit for it because of the extensive post-processing I did on it. The background was quite busy and detracting.
