Bud -- I originally tried cropping out the fan and then thought better of it. I wanted the dress highlighted against that cool patterned floor and the fan sort of added to it, once I got the feel for it. Maybe there's a future in wedding photography, after all. (I have a splendid partner, thank God.)
I was thinking about these photos today. Generally, I get pretty bored with wedding photos - so very often, if you don't know the bride and/or groom, they're pretty predictable and not very interesting.
But, you have four photos here that are interesting, funny, well-composed and worth looking at even for a wedding non-guest. Good job!
Linda -- I tried looking at it from a different perspective. With each wedding, I want to expand my look--at least, that's the plan. The execution might be something else entirely!
But yeah, most wedding photography is pretty boring.

Outstanding work, Tom. The dress from the ceiling fan is both iconic and unexpected.

Gorgeous photos, Tom.
