On Sept. 11 I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Amy Swann and Matt Thompson at the Crescent Hill Womans Club in Louisville, Ky. The couple’s ceremony and reception were held on-site. The venue was beautiful. The late-day sun and a little off-camera flash helped me with my portraits. The super sharp Canon 35mm f/1.4 L did the rest.

Bride Emily Jent dances with her father - By Derek Poore
On Aug. 28 I had the pleasure of assisting Brad Luttrell shoot the wedding of Emily Jent and Ryan Fackler. The wedding and reception were held at a private residence in the Crescent Hill area of Louisville.
During the ceremony I started making pictures from the wings but I took a moment and shot wide and telephoto from the roof in the middle of the service. Brad nailed a great shot from the roof while I played VAL (voice assisted lightstand) with an SB-26 Speedlight during the bride and groom’s first dance.
Congrats Emily and Ryan! Check out more pictures in my PhotoShelter gallery.

I used two lenses, a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L and a manual Nikkor 50mm f/1.4. Pushing the camera's ISO at times to 4000-6400 I was able to capture great footage in what was a very dark stage at Louisville's Zanzabar.
