Two weddings. One as a guest and one wedding as a paid shooter (only one). Last one was a (nervous) blast:

I haven't yet actually had the chance to shoot a wedding, my first job as a 2nd shooter is coming up in a couple weeks.
I took these at a wedding I was at to help out my wife who was the wedding planner. I have aspirations of doing this full-time but that goal is a long way off, I appreciate any and all C&C.

I'm just bowled over. I can assure you back when I started shooting weddings in the '60s (as a teenager) that very few pros could have matched the quality of work displayed here.

I went off to photo school and moved back home. I did mostly commercial/industrial and didn't advertise for weddings, but ended up working far more weekends than I expected. My heyday was late '70's/early '80's. I shot what would now be regarded as "traditional" wedding photography, using medium format and multiple lights even for candids. Our film back then was ISO 125. I usually would take a roll or two of 400 when it became available, but even with medium format 400 speed film had golf ball sized grain (this was before grain was "trendy").

I'm so envious of the tools available to you now. Back then I longed to be able to shoot in the style seen here, which captures the emotions of the day far better than the old style.

People fuss about how easy the mechanics of wedding photography has gotten, auto focus, zoom lenses, auto metering, etc. Yes, there may be some who do wedding photography with no more skills than it takes to work an Instamatic, but this thread abundantly demonstrates how creative photographers can be when they aren't having to constantly fiddle with aperture, focusing, meter reading and the like. Brides and grooms can get a far better product now, than when I was shooting weddings professionally.

Hats off to all of you, especially Chuck for starting the thread.

I've been shooting for about two years total... Completely self-taught myself by reading Ansel Adams' books and Peterson's Understanding Exposure (and obviously things like youtube), but have fallen in love with photography...

I've only shot a total of two weddings, but have found them to be complete learning experiences...

C&C is always welcome..

Greetings,

I've shot a handfull or so weddings over the years, mostly for friends. Its been almost a year since the last one. Here's a few from the last two which used semi-pro equipment:

I reprocessed all of these with LR3.0 so while they may be stampped '2010', they were taken over the last few years.

Howard and Debbie got married in the middle of a turn-a-round for a boat ramp at a campground. I happened to be camping near by and as luck would have it, had brought two speed lights and a light stand. Full July sun with white/black couple - oh fun!

Julies Wedding:

Julie and I were going to get together and shoot a new business card portrait. When she asked me over to meet the future groom, they asked if I could do their upcoming backyard wedding. I had a friend follow me around all day with my key speedlight ontop of a modified painters extension handle.

So I just shot my first wedding. I don't think a whole thread is necessary so I'll post a few in here. I've never posted photos here so hopefully this works *crosses fingers*

And you posted the thread anyway

Interesting



This thread applies to me!


(^ very first wedding, solo, about a year before any of these other ones)







And that'll probably remain it. I'm not a huge fan of shooting weddings -- I don't think I'm cut out for it. I'll leave it to the experts.
