[Leica] IMGs: Wedding

[Nathan Wajsman]

On a couple of occasions, both in the Netherlands, I did the photography as a present to the couple, on the condition that I could do it the way I wanted to. So, in 1999, at a wedding of two co-workers, both in middle-age (second marriage for both of them), I shot with a Leica M6 and Ilford 3200 film:

It was grainy as hell but it looked good printed.

Later, in 2006, I did the same for a younger couple, both of whom worked in the company I was managing at the time:

By then I was shooting with a Canon DSLR. I acquired my Leica M8 a couple of years later. Geert and Anna are still married and still live in Eindhoven, with their two children and a few French bulldogs. I am still in touch and visited them there a couple of years ago.

Cheers,
Nathan
