Congrats Leslie & Peter

This was one of the fun shots from a wedding I shot this past weekend.
My 10-20mm at 10mm in a wheat field..with a great couple....
I used to shoot 30 weddings a year and I don't do them at all any more.
A friend at work asked me if I knew of any one that would take his daughters wedding photos.
I have been out the loop for so long I said "No I don't" and then he asked me to do it!!
I had never met the couple and they were coming from overseas so we would not meet until the big day.
He managed to talk me into it and I had fun...but I'm still leaving this to the young guys out there, I was pretty sore on Sunday.... :-)
Not to mention it was over 30C with very little wind.....

Nikon D300

Excellently done Mike, I like how you used this ultra wide angle... sky was your friend that day, otherwise the whole composition will be lost :) big vote!

Beautiful shot. I bet they loved all of them.

Nothing says a Prairie wedding more than standing in a wheat field with 'wide' open skies. They should be very pleased with your work Mike!

They'll love this! Beautiful shot. I like the low pov you used here.

Cool wide shot. Nice contrast with the field and the sky.
