Tintype wedding

As if regular wedding photography is not stressful enough, how about a tintype wedding like my new friends Jamie and Tom. The couple choose to have a really personal wedding circa 1875. Here are a few of the 16 plates made(in 5 hours)(in blazing midday sun), half and whole plate sizes.
Many thanks to The Jarvis Mansion , New Bern, North Carolina,for making this a great day for all.
