Wedding Portraits on Glass

Wedding Portrait Session with Sorcha and Gabi:

Tulips.

Wet plate outdoors.

Finally, after a long, long break I took a few plates outside!

It feels great and I hope to do it often this year. 

These images were taken close to my house, so I didn't use a portable darkroom (just 'regular' one), but still, climbing down and up a steep hill and jumping through the river with heavy tripod and 4x5 camera, was quite an adventure (and a good exercise too). Here are the results and technical info:

I always preferred sketches and drawings, never liked painting or colouring, but I'm really enjoying this:
