Thank God, the madness of rushing, flowers, gifts, makeup, hair, costumes, tickets, vying for seats is OVER for the year. Just 13 more years of this or so I don't hope (just kidding). C&c welcome. Thanks for looking! Taken with my 40D and a combination of 85 f/1.2, 24-70 f/2.8, and 70-200 f/2.8 lenses, and NO flash. And a special thank you to Bob for encouraging me to post. Here are some of my favorites:

You did remarkably well with the lighing. Just a few too many. You probably wanted to show most of the shoot. I would, too.

look very nice

Amazingly good in that type of venue and without flash!

Thanks pilles...but 18 out of nearly 2700 shots over the course of 4 days isn't even close to MOST of the shoot lol.

it's all the great advice that I got from the forum that I put to good use. I'm pleased with the results too. Many thank yous for your kind words!

Chris, your post sort of slipped by me, didn't see it till now. See, I told you, that you did a nice job? Difficult conditions / restrictions on where you could shoot, etc. You got some VERY NICE shots. See if you can make arrangements next year, to be able to shoot from different locations, be somewhat free roaming, things will only get better. Your daughter is beautiful & she will only get more beautiful & graceful. Enjoy

Bob

Ageee - a very nice group of shots.

Yep, I agree too, good job. I also think your daughter stole the show. Well done.
