Last weekend I had the privilege of photographing Heather & Josh’s wedding at Boone Hall Plantation for our good friends Bill & Kelli Nixon. The ceremony was held at the rustic Cotton Dock. What a cool venue for a wedding! I arrived early, as usual, and noticed the decorators were draping these long, silky, white sheets over the huge wooden rafters. Seeing those rafters gave me the idea to mount a remote camera from one of the rafters to get this cool angle. In the first photo you can see the D300 with 10.5mm Fisheye super-clamped to the rafter looking strait down. The second shot is an image from the remote camera, which I fired with a set of PocketWizards. Fun Stuff!!!
Only you would come up with something as technically creative as this! A never before seen angle at the Cotton Dock!!!
a) that is an amazing shot and you ROCK!!
b) beware climbing around in those rafters at the Cotton Dock….I was shooting there a few months ago and during the reception a big ol’ SNAKE fell out of those rafters….onto a wedding guest. TRUE STORY!
