I recently shot a wedding for my best friend's little sister, partially as a favor, and partially as practice for another friend's wedding next summer. I mark it as a success, and I know that the B&G will be happy. #1 {} #2 {} #3 {} #4 {} #5 {} #6 {} Believe me, shooting my first wedding in 104 degree mid-day sun was TOUGH. I tried to manage shadows and use fill flash as best I could. There are some more shots HERE, on my flickr. I'd love to hear what you all think! Thanks!
chris... it was a tough shoot and i know the B&G will be happy you did well.... all of the shots are a bit, HOT, however the dress is blown out in every shot here.... except #6, where the shirt is blown out so..... it was sort of a "high-key" shoot... which is fine as well bright sun and white, shiny dress... a recipe for disaster, unless you factor some -EV into the equation did you shoot RAW? again.... the composition and images are very nice the exposures are a bit overdone you should be proud of these... first wedding..... harsh conditions... well done
Thanks! Yes, I shot raw, but when I increased recovery, the whole picture took on a grey-ish tone. Rather than take the time to do masks on 200 pics, I decided to expose for faces/skin tones, and let the dress blow out. The bride and groom are thrilled, so I'm chalking it up as a learning experience for next time.
