Just got back from California where I was taking pictures and being a groomsman (pulling double duty). These were pictures I was taking throughout the day. They had a pro there taking pictures so these are nowhere near that level.

Here are some of my favorites. You can check out them all at:

    Nice shots! I like the first shot, too. I think you underestimate yourself...lots of nice captures of happy, smiling people. Looks like everyone is having a good time! Great color. thumb.gif

    Be wary, professional photographer is a very loose term. Some of these so called pros couldn't capture their own shadow on a sunny day.

    I found your pictures to be delightful! The young girl and her shyness peering from behind the door was a perfect shot, especially with that near smile.thumb.gif

    Great shots. I particularilly liked 82, 94, & 95.

    Don't be intimidated by "professional photographers" your shots were WAY better than the "Pro" that got $800 from my brothers first wedding. I mean WAY, WAY, Way better. (did I use too many "way"s there).

    You should be proud.

    Man! You guys and gals are a great bunch! Almost brought a tear to my eye reading the comments. *sniff* thumb.gif

    I think the most important thing about this event was that I learned to love higher ISO speeds instead of shying away from it. B&W and high ISO actually made for some decent photos.

    I also messed around with the built-in flash on some of them. I think I'm starting to understand when I can use it and when not to use it. I'm still getting obscenely blurry shots but I think I know where I went wrong.

    I'm putting together a hardcover book for them as a gift. Only way a poor college student like me can give a decent gift. :D

    I suspect that book will be one of their most treasured wedding gifts.
