One of the things that surprised me about shooting weddings was that I quickly found that to my surprise, the dudes don’t really play. I so desperately want to have fun at the weddings and events that I shoot and I found that groomsmen tended to be more reserved and camera shy than the ladies. Not what I expected at all. After talking with other wedding photographers I found out that it wasn’t just me. Then I met these guys. They looked good and they knew it. Maybe it was the booze, maybe it was the sunglasses, or maybe because this was a wedding that was 10 miles back on a dirt road and everyone was camping that night. Either way, this was one of the first weddings I shot where I felt like I got good snapshots of the dudes. These were my boys of summer.
