some wedding shots · 09:34 AM

This was my first wedding...

K100d, FA31/77/43, DA10-17

It was a lot of fun, but sometimes it was really hard to manage the right exposure, because
of high contrast (b/w clothes and frontal sun light).

1. DA10-17 + tripod

2. FA77

3. FA77

4. FA77

5. DA10-17

6. FA31

7. FA43

8. FA31

9. hungry?

10.

Very nice shots--Wish my first wedding had looked so good

Great shots. If this is your first wedding you are going to do well. There is a debate over zooms vs primes for wedding work that goes back to the beginning of wedding photography. How did it work out for you shooting with primes?

Beautiful, sharp, creative shots and I think you used DOF very effectively.

I used two bodies with FA31 and FA77 mounted, for me that worked very well. A zoom lens would be better, if you're new to photography and have no experience in using a fixed focal length, or if there is not enough space to move around.

By the way did you manage to do all these without flash? Did you use any other lighting?

There was no need for a flash, the sun was shining through the windows in front of the altar.

Wow very nice! Rarely a wedding photographer uses multiple lenses, and that pays off at a 100%! And the shots are not very traditional, REALLY something to remember for them!
