Weddings with no stress! (4 images)

To me, bringing my camera to a friend's wedding is almost like Christmas! The burden of the "real" shots are left to the professional and I get to practice capturing the event as it actually was, which sometimes includes the silly look on the bride's face:










I understand that shooting outdoors in bright sunlight is a real bitch. I have not yet mastered the art of avoiding blown-out highlights. :rolleyes But as I don't have a whole lot of experience shooting people, any thoughts and comments?

Cute shots and nice "face" in the first shot

That bride looks familiar for some reason.

Fun dress too! Looks like you had fun!

I particularly like # 3. It is so natural. I love how it focuses on the bride, but you can see the joy of the groom as well! Great job! Yeah- it's fun to be able to relax while taking pics! I do weddings fairly frequently and they are stressful! But it's what I thrive on! Oh, and sometimes even when I'm the "pro" (because I shoot a combination of traditional & pj styles) I get those "funny" looks as well! It's all part of the day! Many of those get chosen for their albums- I guess they think it's them at their most natural! !
