So about a year some friends from work (my non-photographic day job) got engaged. I offered to do their engagement photos as an engagement present. Well, they ended up liking them so much that they asked if I would shoot their wedding....I reluctantly accepted after urging them to hire a professional, and warming them up to the possibility that I could muck the whole thing up...after a long talk about what they expected, and what I could actually provide, they still wanted to have me do it....
They didn't pay me aside from minor expenses, and some gas money, probably cost them $200 in the end.
Anyway the wedding was last weekend, and I spent all this past week processing the photos, and I'm pretty happy with the results. Granted they aren't the work of a true wedding pro, but all things considered....
The set up I used...
Pre-Game - K20D with AF540 and 16-45,50/1.4, 50-135 assorted
Ceremony - Dual body, K10D no flash with 50-135, and K20D with 16-45 and 540FGZ mounted on a stroboframe quickflip (firing direct for most of the outdoor shots).
Reception - K20D with 540FGZ and Demb Pro Diffuser on Stroboframe, and K10D w/360FGZ and a Sto-fen omnibounce (assorted lenses on both).
I welcome C+C from those who know better than I... I think this is something I'd like to get into as a weekend warrior type job.
Here's what I ended up with:
