The photographer at my sisters wedding last night was shooting with a cannon, but it looked like she was looking at us, then pointed the lens up ( above our heads) and shot..the pic looks great but what lens is that?

    Can you post the pic or gain access to the EXIF info on the file? Is it possible they used live-view for the shot using the lcd to frame via it?

    The photos are on Facebook so no exit data. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rose-Street-Studio/122404030810 is the link, it's the one in front of the garages and tree I'm talking about

    I know it was a wide angle but not a tilt shift. I'm wondering if she did a vertical panorama?

    I believe that the photographer was trying for a composition with the background that required placing the camera high. The lens is indeed pointed high because the subjects are low in the frame.

    I do not think that there is any stitching involved.

    Some photographers use a low angle for similar reasons. Shooting at eye-level is not always the best perspective or best composition.

    I agree, looks like the camera was up high

    Simple "focus+recompose" technique. Since she was probably using a Canon 5D mk2, the only truly useful focus point is in the dead-center, (and even then the off-center focus point wouldn't have reached all the way down to the bottom) ...so the technique is to point the lens directly at you, focus, then re-compose the shot. Nothing special about the lens, it is just a limitation of autofocus...
