Andrew Welsh Offline Buy and Sell: On Standard, Safe + "Boring" shots After my last wedding I wasn't fully pleased with my performance with the standard, safe "boring" shots... the group formals, the cake cutting, the precession, ceremony shots.. basically all of the shots few of us post here, yet the very shots almost all clients expect. So, I was looking for help and inspiration and ask that you all post your "safe", "boring" and "standard" shots. I know you have hard drives full of 'em, so let's see 'em! Thanks in advance Jul 04, 2008 at 07:26 PM

Daniel Ransom Offline Image Upload: Off Standard, Safe + "Boring" shots I took a pic, as a second shooter, of the bride and groom dancing between the layers of their two tiered wedding cake. Cake blurred to the front. They paid the main shooter extra to have it. I can't show it to you, as I don't own copywrite. but it might be something you try. Jul 06, 2008 at 05:37 AM

I can't show it to you, as I don't own copywrite. but it might be something you try. did you sign a release or work made for hire agreement? if you didnt sign your copyright away, you do too own it. however, i usually observe a boundary when I am second shooting. when i am second shooting i dont really take someone elses client into my portfolio. but i always retain the copyright. k, sorry bout the highjack, i just wanted to pipe up with that mitch p.s. wedding pics in my www Jul 07, 2008 at 12:03 AM

jonmcgough2 Offline Image Upload: Off Standard, Safe + "Boring" shots In cases with the shoes and the rings, when do you actually shoot these shots? After the wedding do you ask the bride for their shoes? And for things like the bouquet toss, was that something you managed to catch by being underneath the bride as she threw it, or was it more staged? Jul 07, 2008 at 07:47 PM

Best time for shoes is while bride is getting ready, ring shot kind of just happens at some point during the day (not helpful, I know). Bouquet was a staged shot with the bridesmaids. The shoes are a rarely seen aspect of the wedding that alot of brides put considerable thought into. They always appreciate a good shoe shot. Here's another shot, same pair of shoes, different setting/context. Jul 08, 2008 at 04:09 AM
