Digital Wedding...Stills, Fig is officially not-just-Video!

This is the first wedding we've ever photo'd and we were scared. We shot a lot of pictures, almost 1300 with heavy in camera editing. We've done hundreds of wedding videos so we know the routine, the angles and the beats. Still, there is a ton of little things we have never paid attention to: portraits, tables and Video tends to be the step child while photo is the first born. Clients expect more from their pics. Maybe we're just seeing the other side of the elephant. We're used to being ignored so it was a little work to stay out front and direct. We did not do a lot of direction, still the portraits required us to ge loud. We did pretty well and our client Jonathen gave us a few notes. We're hooked! Weddings are fun. Kristen and jonathen two are very smart and cute. Jonathen went to RISD and had tons of creative notes for us. Kristin is a yoga person and very flexible. Their respective families were spontaneous, vulnurable and funny, an attractive combination. This was no low-key affair, the Hora definitly got out of hand. The space was awesome, we love Michael Roberts and his space (www.prarieproduction.net) is wonderful and photo friendly. it's got some of the biggest windows in Chicago. Loads of light.
