First Wedding Shoot

First Wedding Shoot · 12:41 AM

My cousin asked me to take photography of her wedding a few months ago. A completely different realm of what I normally shoot (nature), the wedding shoot made me a bit nervous but we were both had an understanding that this would be an "experiment for me". As I recall her standards werent too high. she even said that "You could take all of the photos on a Point and shoot if you want". When I got back from Costa Rica I had to send in my K20d in for a defect repair. Thus I did the shoot with mainly the K10d , 50-132, and 16-50.

It was a beach wedding on a relatively cloudy day. Very informal and very quick (less than 10 minutes)

here are some shots of my first attempt

I think you did a great job for a first wedding. You gotta start somewhere right.

I have my first coming up later this summer and I'm nervous. I too, am mostly a nature shooter. So we'll see

Especially like the group shot, and the gift box shots.

Excellent first attempt. These crisp, vivid photos should keep your cousin very pleased. While not exactly assisting with a warm, portrait glow/cast, the cloudiness certainly helped with even lighting, leaving no shadows.

If you can get that many keepers in 10 minutes that means you did a great job I'd say

I can only echo the other: Very Nice Job!

More praise from me.
Well done.
These B&Ws are sharp and well rendered

thanks everyone. I really had to push myself for those 10 minutes! another friend was shooting with a nikon d90 and im curious what she came out with.

You did great, they certainly tell the story and that's all you need.

Do you know who the guy is in the last one? I'm sure I recognise him from somewhere.
