Congratulations Meg & Mike
On November 18, I had the priviledge of 2nd shooting for a great photographer, and now that I have met him, a great person as well, Andrew, of John Andrews Photography. He made the offer on OSP for those that wanted to enhance their portpolio so I jumped at the chance. Thank you so much Andrew for the opportunity. I definetely learned a lot from watching him shoot and from his style of doing things. And of course, I was also able to create some good pictures, but I'll let you decide whether that is true or not. Here are some of the pictures I shot for Andrew. The ceremony took place at Saint Alphonsus Catholic Church in Chicago and the reception was held at West Loop Studio. Between the ceremony and reception we went with Meg and Mike and the wedding party to Union Station for some portraits.

I particularly like the opening with the ring!
But after the course you'll uderstand how the portriat of the groom doesn't make sense from a lighting standpoint, and what 40 degree change could do to 'finish' an awsome composition with lighting that makes it scream COOL!
Oh, yea so rotate your light to camera right so that it looks as though the light is 'wrapping' around him and you'll have a tremendous image - instead what happened was he was flattened against the sky. You could argue that an available light shot of just his profile with the drama of the sky could have been more interesting...thus the dilema of flash photography.

Hey Neil, thanx for stopping by, but just so you know, I am buying extra strong toothpicks to hold your eyes open and keep you from going to sleep ;-) This is the kind of advise I need to grow and become a better photographer. I can't wait to learn from you all that I can. Thanx for the willingness to come out here and share your talents with us.
