[Leica] Photographing your niece's wedding

[rclompus at mac.com (Richard Clompus)]

We?ve all been there. You have this passion for photography and over the 
years, you end up becoming the family photographer. You always have a camera 
with you and are always on the look out for new and fresh images to capture. 
With a camera as your constant companion, you have the appearance of being a 
?tourist in your own town.? So when your niece asks you to photograph her 
wedding, you think about it for a few seconds, a wide smile crosses your 
face and you say, ?I?d be happy to create memories of your special day?. 
Having photographed weddings during my college years to finance camera gear, 
it wasn?t really a stretch to do it again.

I used mainly a Leica M10 with the Noctilux 50/1 and the Leica Q.  All the 
equipment worked and I had a ball. Everyone is happy (thankfully) and I had 
a wonderful time at the wedding. I
have great deal of respect for wedding photographers who do a much better 
job every week for more critical clients and make a living doing it.  Here 
are a two photos taken with a Noctilux 50/1 and a 90/2 pre-aspheric 
Summilux.  They render skin beautifully.  Focus is always a challenge.
