Marcus & Janessa - my 'first' wedding!

bike21

So back in July I got to do my first 'solo' wedding away from my partners in Chicago. I have been a third shooter with them so this was my breakout chance, along with my wife who has become my second shooter (might I say she is darned good too!). The wedding was in Estes Park, Colorado and the bride & groom which are friends of ours agreed to be the guinea pigs. And yes I did get paid a nice amount :thumb

#1 - the locale


#2 - a very happy and relaxed bride & groom!


#3


#4 - they did a wonderful dance to start it all off


#5


#6 - the guys


#7 - the kids loved to dance at this one!


#8


#9


#10 - hold'er steady there little bro!


#11



More to come tomorrow, off to bed for now!

#12


#13


#14 - it rained a bit before the ceremony but cleared nicely


#15


#16 - the guys picked up the bride, but I thought the moment before was the best shot


#17 - it was the groom's nephew's birthday too!


#18 - look what i got!

This is a really nice set! Congratulations on your first wedding, too. A couple of comments:

#3--beautiful! Nice detail--I'm a little partial towards the ring because it looks like mine...

Love the action shots.

#6--Ouch, some of the guys' feet got chopped off. I'd say if you're going to chop feet, go ahead and crop higher up.

#11, 17--I like what's going on here, but it looks a bit underexposed.

Overall, really well done!

#16 looks like the bride is being "goosed" by the guy with the blue tie

congrats on landing your first solo wedding.

Thanks! I agree on your comments as well #6, was a little spur of the moment as they were getting themselves sorted so I didn't have much time to compose.

11/17 maybe I can take another look at in post. I do need to work on my consistency when shooting with regards to exposure and other probably many other things
