Wedding (fashionistas) shoot on Portra 160NC

[sperera]

So we get asked by the fashionistas to shoot their weddings which is just what I like and they like the idea of bringing along the Haselblad and some rolls.....

All shot on Portra 160NC overexposed with 50mm, 80mm and 150mm Zeiss lenses. Natural light no flashes

These look great to me. Lots of variety in pose and I love the fact you chose to overexpose.

Just a couple of questions... by how much did you overexpose? and also the light leak in the last one, is that a sign that your seals need replacing?

These seals should have been replaced a while ago.

The leak could also have been caused by a warped dark slide.
Bent slides are an extra strain for the light seals and can cause them to fail long before they are at the end of their life.

Either check the film backs regularly for light leaks or simply replace the seals every two years.
