These photos were taken with Nikon SLR cameras, well before the advent of digital photography and voluminous phone capture. Many were imaged on color reversal (slide transparency) Kodak Ektachrome film and processed in-house, by hand, when particular attention to chemicals, time and temperature was necessary. Because of the time, cost and process involved, exposure, framing, focus, depth of field and composition needed to be processed prior to image capture, as post production correction was unavailable.
Because of this, professional photography required far more knowledge and attention (five weddings captured are not included here).
