That said, I also think I took some of the best bride and groom portraits I've done, including some Type 55 shots with the Speed Graphic. The bride is a friend, and while she is not likely to be furious with me, I feel like I let the couple down. The rest of my coverage should be fairly comprehensive and competent--I'll know for sure once I've developed the film--but I feel like a complete heel right now.

P.S. I think Ramiro is right, auto focus would have helped.
