Wedding Photographer Geneva & Nyon | Wedding Colette & Curt, Begnins

It is a very special moment if a wedding photographer is invited to the wedding of a friend. Especially if your friend is a very talented wedding photographer herself and you are invited as a friend and not as a photographer. Of course I did take a camera to the wedding yesterday in Begnins and Luins in the Nyon area anyway :-) But as I was not the official photographer I was in “freestyle mode” with just one lens (Canon 50mm/1.2L), no flash and was shooting my Mark II all day long at ISO 2500 and f/1.4. A bit risky, but if you nail the focus, you get stunning images. Here’s my favorite image of the day, a fleeting moment on the dance floor.

Congratulations Colette & Curt! You’re a wonderful couple, it was awesome to spend the day with your families and friends! Your wedding was hands down my favorite wedding ever! If I leave the wedding party at the very end and arrive back home at 5am, you know that I liked it ;-)

    I LOVED IT the moment you showed it to me Dani! It has a place in our album for sure (good job I’m doing it so I can mix in some of your photos with the other photographer’s) :)
    And thank you for your kind words. I’m happy you had so much fun and I look forward to our next meeting.
    Thanks again, Co

    It’s beautiful Daniel – a risk totally worth taking. How great an opportunity, to shoot without obligation or expectation. I love that lens i know some people shoot on just that all day long…i’d love to get one if i had a spare couple of grand sitting around!! Beautiful image, just beautiful.
