   This is crazy. I was at the same salon with my bride yesterday. What time were you there?

   Ha! 9:00am – 10am. I was driving to Park Tavern the same time Chris was twittering that ya’ll were getting ready to head out to shoot ya’lls gig of the day. I was done at 4pm!

   How was your day? Get stuck in that rain at all?

   Cheers,
   Zack

   what’s good Zack!? Love the pics, I know they enjoyed their day even more. What lens you got on that D3 for the wedding? I can’t wait to get my hands on one and that OneLight DVD.

   Hey Gino,
   My typical lens selection at a wedding is a 24mm 2.8, a 35mm 2, and I go between an 85mm 1.8 or 105mm 2.

   During the ceremony I shoot with an 80-200 2.8 for the reach. That’s about the only time I pull that lens out these days.

   Cheers,
   Zack

   Zarias:
   You are a flippin’ photography beast. How the heck did you capture a tear in the eye of the dad who was toasting, through a tiny crack between the bride and groom?

   We’re not worthy.

    Dang sweet! Love those sly captures you got (tear in the toaster, cake smoosh). You rock

14. katie torres, on June 30th, 2008 at 4:23 am Said:

    11 – 1 at the salon. We had the formals and wedding inside at the time of rain….beautiful pictures at the swan house before and after. Worked out perfectly! Glad you had a great day. Mid day light at Park Tavern works beautifully!

    Brilliant! Brilliant! I can’t wait to learn from you at the November workshop. Love these shots.

    Amazin’ stuff Zack!!

17. Levi Ely, on June 30th, 2008 at 8:22 am Said:

    I love the shot of the old man signing the photo! So many great shots. Is it not restricting shooting with a fixed lens at this type of event?

18. Richmond Wedding Photographer, on June 30th, 2008 at 8:55 am Said:

    Very cool. That D3 is awesome. Good compositions.
    Thanks for sharing.

19. zack, on June 30th, 2008 at 9:42 am Said:

    Levi… The best zoom you own is your feet!

    I don’t find prime lenses to be restricting whatsoever. In fact, I find them to be superior to zoom lenses. They are faster in aperture. They are lighter in weight. They are cheaper in cost. A number of these shots in this blog post were made with me holding the camera out and away from my face. The heavier the lens on my camera, the more difficult those are to capture. Once you get to know your lenses you can pre-visualize the shot even before you look through the view finder.

    Marcos; Where in Scotland are you shooting your wedding? Scotlands where I am!

    Great Shots Zack, i have my first wedding in Novemeber and am soaking up wedding tips like a fool. Thanks for sharing your lenses. Can’t wait for the DVD.

23. Tom K., on June 30th, 2008 at 10:43 pm Said:

    A profoundly impressive and inspirational set of photographs. The expressions, the body language, the feeling of these are palpable. Just plain killer work from stem to stern.

24. Kyle, on July 1st, 2008 at 4:46 am Said:

    Wow! These are great. It was an awesome wedding and it looks like you guys have some great memories captured on film.

25. David Burke, on July 1st, 2008 at 6:42 am Said:

    Zack! These are fantastic!!!

    BTW – I Concur on the D3 feelings. OMG this camera is incredible. The colors are amazing.

    Can’t wait to get the DVD too!

26. Levi Ely, on July 1st, 2008 at 8:27 am Said:

    Thanks for the insight Zack. I don’t mind getting really close for photos. In fact I like going to small concerts that I can put my camera right in the band members faces.

    the hype did not disappoint – that is a KILLER recessional capture!

29. Frank, on July 3rd, 2008 at 5:41 am Said:

    Zack – yes, the recessional shot is fab but I truly love the bride + cake shot – that made me chuckle…

30. Bill, on July 4th, 2008 at 1:21 am Said:

    Greetings from Australia! Love the work.

    Recessional shot?? Is that an American term? We don’t use that term here. Which shot does it refer to?
    By the way….loved the info on the all white studio work from the other week.
    Keep up the work….happy days and good shooting!! cheers

31. zack, on July 4th, 2008 at 1:26 am Said:

    Hey Bill. The recessional shot is the bride and groom coming down the isle after they have done been hitched up and married!

    Cheers,
    Zack

    IAN – Shooting just outside of Glasgow I believe.

34. Piet Potgieter, on July 7th, 2008 at 11:09 am Said:

    What amazes me is the lighting effect.Do you carry a bunch of lights along to church and the reception or do you make use of speedlights only like the strobist fans? WHY don’t I get the same effects you do? Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. Please keep it up.

    Quel beau couple !!!

37. Ramiro, on August 3rd, 2008 at 10:35 pm Said:

    Hi Zack, these are great shots, I love the consistency of lighting in all of them. I have been thinking of switching to primes, but I’d like to know how you do it to switch between lenses at a wedding? or are you shooting with multiple cameras? Thanx for your inputs.

38. Eric, on August 13th, 2008 at 6:02 am Said:

    Great photos! Thanks the inspiration! I’d love to hear more about the lighting and equipment you used, if you have a couple of spare minutes…

    Zach,
    I loved your workshop. You are a master!

    I was about to buy the new Canon 5d, but I dont’ think the sync speed goes higher than 1/160 second. Is this prohibitive? (I know you hover around 1/250 a lot.) I want to upgrade my 30d though, suggestions?
