Well there's different, you won't forget that day quickly, your new wife will see to that.

Thanks for the comments. For full disclosure - actually the wedding wasn't mine. But, I had introduced the bride/groom to each other 6 years ago - so was a privilege to be there.

Thanks to my brother Phillydad for the 'beanbag' tip. For most of the animal close ups - I placed a beanbag on the side of the truck to secure the camera which seemed to help (as I couldn't take my tripod on the truck).

What a wonderful series to view, quite a "wild" wedding I would say

I learned about using a beanbag from the forums here - I've found it helpful in a variety of situations. Glad it helped.
