How could I go wrong with a couple like this...







With style like this...





In venues like this...





And vendor meals like this...

Great Job Ben...they look beautiful!

Ben....you keep raising the bar with each post. Great job!

I love number 4...Wow. And the last 3 shots.

Number 7..The night shot...has that old Hollywood feel to it.

Killer shots Ben! Susan told me NYE that we shot back-to-back at the Georgian Terrace this weekend - fun! Can't wait to see HER pics

Wow Ben! Nice Choice!

Ben,

GORGEOUS! I enjoyed the slideshow. The bride definitely has the old Hollywood style, loved her rehearsal outfit, too. The music is a perfect fit. I love the going away shots.

regina

adore that leaving shot! Good stuff!

Great stuff Ben! What a beautiful wedding. Congrats.

Wow...what a classy collection of pictures!

Classic shots. Great job Ben.

wow! Gorgeous shots Ben!!

Ben, those are all absolutely timeless. Great work.

ben,

wow, love the leaving, sparkler shot.. that one caught my eye..

great work!

Ben, in a single word...Beautiful.

Nice work all around. loved the food shots!

Awesome job capturing these Ben! You are really rockin' with your photography!! Thanks for sharing - hope 2007 is spectacular for you!!

absolutely breathtaking! I want to eat that tiramisu right off my monitor!

Man, how do you guys choose?

I don't know if I could narrow it down to one wedding. These are stately images.

totally classy couple, venue, and images. You really nailed this one. Good job. I really love the shot of the banquet hall, what a beautiful place to shoot. I am jealous.

Wow everybody... thanks so much guys!!


That's totally the feel they were going for... What's funny is that they weren't playing the part, so to speak. They rented that old car because the groom's classic car and his dad's antique cars were both damaged right before the wedding.


Liana, I can't wait to shoot in Mexico! Susan's great isn't she. See you tomorrow I hope.

Nathan, no offense, but your avatar just doesn't have the same effect as Amber's...

Jose, on the sparkler shot I tried something new (to me anyway). I had my assistant running down the stairs backlighting them with a pocket wizard. The facial light is all from the sparklers which were pretty bright.


Thanks Neil! Now I didn't say it was my favorite, but it was some of my best work for sure. It's probably shares honors with 3 or 4 others as my favorite weddings of the year.

GREAT work!!

I'm an avid fan too of food shots!!

Such wedding would surely bring more work for you this 2007!!

Regards,
Dennis

Thanks Dennis!

Ben-- I'd say "simply amazing," but having had the privilege of working with you I know that there is nothing simple about it.

Awesome, AWESOME stuff. Thanks for sharing.

P.S. Just watched Jacey & Jason's slideshow also. Loved it!

Hey, thanks Jeff for the kind words. Having really cool brides who happen to be super photogenic helps

Beautiful shots, Ben! That reception hall is amazing and I love how you've processed the B&W in that shot.. perfect. Also love the food shots!

Ben what lens did you use on your food shots?

It's funny that you ask. At the ceremony I dropped my new 24-105 f/4 IS and I was using Huy Cat's 24-70 f/2.8 Macro during the luncheon so all the food shots were his 24-70.

These food shots are 5D straight-out-of-the-camera JPEGs.

Dude, sweet shots!! Now I just need to figure out how to get served food like this when working an event!

Those are gorgeous shots!!! It looks like it was a lot of fun too!

a) Have an coordinator/planner who likes you.

b) Plugging the caterer on your blog and posting images of their food doesn't hurt either.

Ben,

I agree, I have to thank Susan (the coordinator) more. We had awesome food to enjoy that day!

But don't forget to fix that 24-105. When you told me you dropped yours, I had flash backs of dropping my 70-200/2.8 IS down a flight of stairs!
