Wedding 9 - Waiting for the Newly Weds to Appear!
I watched the clock while I anxiously waited for the newly wed couple to open the front doors descend the steps in front of the Nauvoo Illinois Temple, having been sealed for all time and eternity. I was the wedding photographer... nervous about possiblely severe thunderstorms storms that fortunately held off (although it was overcast and breezy).
The statue on top of the temple's clock tower is Moroni, which is found on almost all of the LDS temples throughout the world--and it is the only Moroni statue that faces to the west instead of the east (and yes, there's a story behind that). Moroni is an ancient prophet from the Book of Mormon. I found this article to be interesting while searching for information on the Moroni statues: www.deseretnews.com/top/2075/0/20-little-known-facts-abou...
This was shot with an EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens that I had borrowed for the occasion from a fellow photographer (who is also my dentist). I brought along a large Selens reflector that I had purchased for the occasion, but we had trouble using it in such overcast and breezy conditions. (I also had a softbox... but no one to help set it up and handle it.)
