Lenz Wedding

This couple actually got married in Germany, but came back to Lexington, Ky (the bride's home) for a "post wedding" ceremony without vows, bridesmaids, cake cutting, etc. It was a simple discourse given at the hall, then a reception at the Hyatt. I enjoyed photographing their non-wedding day. They had almost no expectations so I had complete creative control; but they were very pleased with their "wedding" photographs.
We had a private meeting for their couple shots earlier in the day. The light was perfect, and though it was a bit chilly they were great sports about sacrificing warmth for great shots. I felt very relaxed and I really enjoyed that time with them.
Here are a few photographs from their "wedding day".

re: answer to your grainy question

re:
WHY IS THIS IMAGE SO GRAINY/PIXELLY/FUZZY???
The meta data is as follows...
1/200 sec
f/ 18
ISO 400
shot RAW
no adjustments in photoshop AT ALL
Shot on Canon 20D with 24-70mm 2.8L lens
I used Auto focus and it was on F/18!!! why does it seem so NOT SHARP?
by the way, you can see from the whole-open shot how close in the crop is that shows the pixelation.



RBA,
In answer to your question about the grainy picture: Did you use a meter to get the exposure that you chose to use?
If you did, was the battery in the meter old? Also, I am trying to remember how fast the lights will allow you to set your shutter speed. There's a limit, do you remember that?

Grand Opening for AA Imaging's new blog.

RBA,
Let's begin using this as a forum for our discussions. I read adding a blog to your site can greatly help in your site's google ranking.
When we get together, I will show you how I added this to my site.
