Rolleiflex TLR for Wedding Photography

My 1950’s Rolleiflex TLR is slow to load, crank, and focus, and has only 12 shots per roll of film.  Nevertheless, I love shooting with it, even at weddings.  Many of my favorite photos come from my Rollei, such as these from the last wedding I photographed, where I put only two rolls of Tmax through my Rollei.  

The Zeiss glass is so nice.  These shots make me want to run to the darkroom and make prints on fiber paper.
