Wild(s) Bridal

I had the great pleasure of photographing a former bride in her dress once again.  Many call them trash the dress sessions, but I just think of them as bridals without worrying about the dress.  Ashli chose her grandfather's farm in Gordon for her session.  It was perfect!  It had open fields, old fences and even a very old car.  And for those who ask, this is why I like shooting film.  Here are a few of my favorites.  


Photographer's Note:  The color images are from the Mamiya 645 AF with the 80mm lens on Fuji 400H film.  The first B&W image is from my Zeiss Ikon Nettar 6x9 camera (made about 1950) on Kodak Tmax 400.  The Second B&W is from my Nikon FM with 50mm f1.8 lens on Ilford SFX 200.  The Ilford film is near infrared.  I used a R72 filter to enhance the effect.  The scans were done on a Epson V500 I borrowed from a friend.
