The Wedding Photography Field Guide: Capturing the perfect day with your digital SLR camera (The Field Guide Series)

I'm constantly keeping an eye out for interesting colors and designs painted on buildings. Sometimes you can find street art that complements your couple perfectly! This was photographed with a 35mm lens, which is my go-to lens for environmental city portraits.

Darkness was falling when we walked by this great wall, so I bumped my ISO up to 3200. Car headlights are adding a bit of light to the bride's face and creating the interesting shadow under the brim of the groom's hat. I photographed this with my 50mm lens.

The groom instructed each of his groomsmen to show up to the wedding with a different belt buckle and tie. They were all so proud to show them off, and I chose not to ask them to straighten their ties because it added to the fun and casual feel of this photograph. I shot this with my 35mm lens.

Mirrored surfaces can be fabulous tools for photographing details. This was a glass-topped wood desk in a hotel room. I crouched low so that the glass reflected the white wall and the bride's ring, and used my 60mm macro lens.
