This wedding was shot in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania using one Nikon’s first digital cameras, the D100 using a 50mm 1.4 and an 80-200mm 2.8 lenses. Photographically, this is perhaps the best wedding I ever shot. God shined on me this day, literally; nothing compares to a bright slightly overcast day, against the clear air of a mountaintop. This couple could have afforded any photographer they wanted; I will be forever thankful to the bride’s mom for taking a chance on a photographer who didn’t even have a website or business cards. The bride’s mom just happened to be a former photographer and her statement to me was, “I am not looking for a picture taker, I am looking for an artist who can be a participant in capturing the essence of my daughter’s wedding. This was not only the best paying weddings I ever shot, but the couple also allowed me to sell the images as stock photos.

Btw, the Nikon D100 is a 6MP camera; to photographers out there…it’s not all about the megapixels.
