The only reason I would ever shoot film again would be to hear the shutter from my Hassleblad or better yet photograph with my “older” brothers camera. Looks like I may have to take a road trip with him The camera is a Burke and James ‘Orbitar’, circa late 1950′s 65mm f/8 Schneider Kreuznach Super-...
Nothing comes close to being as sexy as Black and White film. Mark, we have to take the “Blads” out for a walk one day! Cheers! D’Arcy

Great photo. Glad to see some “business” related photos. Where did you shoot this? There aren’t too many left with bars any more.
Hi Mr. Ridout, I attended some of your lectures here in São Paulo / Brazil, and beyond all of the technical you are very funny, but back to your work. I would like to know how you do this… like it was sand or grain in the picture. Pic of the Day 07.30.2009
Regardless of the response… beautiful work… congratulations.
As a photographer it is always an honour and very humbling when a fellow wedding photographer asks you to capture their special day. Although I no longer feel the least bit nervous when documenting a wedding their is a little bit of anxiety when photographing another professional photographer. I want to exceed their vision of...

Woo, go Curt. Terrific wedding pics. Love `em!
Looks like tons of fun! Awesome shots and awesome cottage! That’s so cool that you got to see that again! Love the guys wearing sneaks! 
Mark, that’s a great picture of Balmoral. Brings back some great memories. You can’t even see where we lit the side of the cottage on fire 30 years ago when we shot that roman candle at you!
I am SO excited to see more! antsy pants over here!!!
Awesome photos…my baldness showed through yet did not detract from all the other baldness in that wedding party. Seriously though, excellent pictures Mark!
Love them! Can’t wait to see the rest!
Thanks Dennis
:):)
Beautiful photos of a gorgeous day! Love the way the couple’s fun-loving quirkiness comes through in images that will be beautiful and memorable to all through all the days to come. Great job!
I love, love, love the gutpunch shot. So much fun!
Curt has been bragging for months, how he was going to have Mark Ridout shoot his wedding…now we can see why. Great work Mark.
Great pictures… all I can say is I want to see more.
This guy took good pictures but I also think that his assistant was the brains behind the MAN.
You did an amazing job. I love the photos.
Simply awesome Mark. Love them – especially the ones that I’m in. And the “traditional punting of the bouquet” is a Curt creation, something for the grooms out there. I also believe a certain photographer told me to lick the knife and I’ve been getting yelled at for it ever since (and not by Jes). Big high fives!
Curt is the Man!!
Jessica looks gorgeous tho! looks like you guys had an amazing day 
love the fight shot
beautiful pictures! amazing wedding! congrats jes and curt!
Great photos!!! I really like the one of Jes on the haystacks!
Curt is the Man!!! Awesome Wedding.

HOly ####!! Sir. That is quite incredible! I’m going to lose sleep over how much that one inspires…awesome.
Wow!!!! we love the first photo and are so excited to see more:) Can’t wait.
The first image is exceptional.
Ahhh Mark these are awesome!!!
Albert….you are correct. I am using direct flash(no diffusers) from 2 Vivitar 3900 flashes that are rigged up to pocket wizards and being held by two of the ushers at approx. 45 degrees on each side of me.
Absolutely stunning!!!
Love the lighting here mark, two flash setup?
That first shot is breathtaking. I can’t stop staring at it.
Ohh… how beautiful!!
Breathtaking…!
