Simon, you have a definite talent for people. Lots of pros I know could take lessons from you.

very nice shots Simon, I'm sure they will be happy with the results...
Nearly made me wish I haven't sold 77 but then I would shoot half of those shots with shorter lenses.... so 77 would sit in the bag...
anyway, you've done excellent work and stuck to your style...
well done and thanks for sharing...

Thanks Peter, really aprecicate your coments

I did shoot with other lenses and i was even shooting with 2 cameras at the ceremony but just found myself going with the 77 about 80% of the time. Only 3 shots from above are not from the 77.

Great shots! Not only in terms of the photography -- the FA 77/1.8 contributing some nice pixie dust -- but also in terms of image ideas.

Thanks Dave and Class A !

Beautiful work Simon. The clients should be more than pleased.
Without going into too much critique, I'd have reshot another one of the bride teeing off from the groom's mouth just to get a better expression on her face (it's a great idea, and different), and in the group shot I would have had the little girl at the far left of the image to allow the bride's gown to be more of a feature in the photo.

But otherwise (and anyways) mate, two thumbs up.

Thanks Ash! Your feedback is greatly appreciated

I did re-shoot that tee off shot a few times and that was the best expression. Thanks for the tip on the group shot, i will remember that for the next one

Great stuff. You could have charged a fortune for this. Put your free pass in your back pocket, because these friends owe you one, big time!

I agree with Jim.

You have shown great imagination, taken some tremendous shots and I'm certain they are going to be absolutely thrilled with these.

Brilliant job.

Thanks Frogfish, yeah Im getting alot of interest from my friends and their friends,all keen to get portraits and family photos etc.. done. So it looks like I may be onto something here.

Very, very nice, Simon. I love with bride with the little girl on the grass and
the rings on golf balls is very cool. Great imagination in some of these shots.
I also like the smokey look of the cake shot. Good job all around. Freddy
