The bf/Stop

Jeff-
I know I’ve thanked you already but I’ve just uploaded a few photos to the slide show at the beginning of my new Front Street template & I sat here smiling to myself rather inanely!

Thank you for agreeing to change the template, thank you for being so quick about it & thanks to whoever it was that designed Front Street. It’s a great new template & I’m sure it’s going to be incredibly popular.

You guys at Bigfolio kick bu** big-time – maybe not a quote you’ll ever want to use!

Bigfolio’s prompt support & professionalism is first class & I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend your company.

Best Regards,
Sofie

###What is your primary camera body?

My primary camera body is the canon 1DMk2. If the new Mk3 lives up to expectation especially in the area of low light focusing then I see a couple in my future.

###Two lenses you use the most

The canon 35 f1.4L and 85 f1.8 for getting ready. The 24 – 105L f4 for the ceremony. The 35 f1.4L and 50 f1.4 for portraits and the 24 – 105 f4 and 35 f1.4L for the reception.

###Do you shoot RAW?

Yes

###How would you describe your photography style?

I take a photojournalistic approach, focusing on the emotions. I also have a lot of fun joking around during the portrait session.

###Do you normally employ assistants or 2nd shooters?

My wife Olive now shoots with me at every wedding. It is such a blessing having her shoot with me.

###What do you remember about your first (or one of your first) wedding?

I remember shooting with a lens so full of fungus that all the photos were soft but the couple (who were friends of ours) absolutely adored them.

###If you were getting married this year, who would you want to shoot your wedding?

That’s hard to answer with so many talented photographers out there but I think Jeff Ascough or David Murray for their photojournalist approach and Jerry Ghionis or Yervant for the portraits.

###What advice would you give to someone just beginning their career as a wedding photographer?

I would say don’t focus so much on equipment. Learn the technical aspect of photography. Shoot from your heart and just enjoy yourself.
