              An Entire Wedding Shot On An iPhone And Processed Using Instagram

              Kim A. Thomas, a photographer out of San Francisco, recently shot an entire wedding using just her iPhone. She processed everything using Instagram as well. The couple, Jonathan and Brandi, wanted her to do so by request. She never used an SLR for any of the shots. Her main camera was the iPhone 4s with an iPhone 4 as a backup. She did use an SLR mount for her lenses and a tripod. Take a look at the shots and let us know what you think of them! 

              Here’s a shot of the full array of equipment she used during the wedding:

              “I photographed the wedding with my iPhone 4s, along with a backup iPhone 4, an SLR Mount and my 50mm f1.4, the Glif Plus and an Olloclip (all from Photojojo). I brought my tripod along for stabilization in what would possibly be a poorly lit City Hall, and I also brought along my phone charger (not pictured). To my surprise, the light in City Hall was perfect.”

              Kim writes about the decision,

              “I’ve heard of iPhone weddings before, but I’ve only heard of 1 (maybe 2, according to Google), and so when Jonathan told me he was looking for a photographer to photograph their wedding with only an iPhone, I was esctastic. While I love my 5D, I’m a huge Instagram user and take more photos with my iPhone than any other camera I have. It’s the camera, er, phone, I always have on me, and it’s what has documented some of my best memories.”

              Be sure to check out the full blog post to read about all the other details from the wedding!

              Here are the shots from the wedding below.

                I keep coming back to this post and it inspires me beyond belief. The simplicity of all the gear and just the know how to get the shot with anything is fantastic! Makes me want to shoot my first wedding with an iPhone and similar gear (maybe even less if I feel daring).

                This is great, it shows that you don’t need an expensive professional DSLR to get pretty good photos, 50% is the photographer, 30% the light and 20% the equipment, or something like that!

              • http://www.facebook.com/cedwardbrice C. Edward Brice

                Considering the demographic about to move into marrying age, the rapid demise of anything printed, the continual improvement of camera phones, and the eventual replacement of of the traditional dslr as we know it with the next generation of mirror-less you can bet iphone weddings, as  a less expensive package option will see rapid growth and and adoption in  the 2 years.

                The notion of having to have wedding prints, or even having to have a photographer running all over your wedding with big equipment is a 20th century concept that will and is coming under attack.

                I think this article goes to prove that it’s not all about the camera. The skill of the photographer is the major factor in what your wedding photographs will come out like. Great job!

                It’s all about exploring photography. I shoot a lot of stuff with a Kodak Duaflex II that I taped up to sort of work with 35mm rolls. If someone wanted to pay me to document their wedding day with that thing, I’d love to.

                I think this a well done point that you cannot judge by the equipment used.
