Got to tag along as a Second Shooter to a small outdoor wedding yesterday. First try at weddings...not real happy with my shots but the important stuff is I learned a lot plus I actually had fun! I swear dark mines are a whole lot easier to deal with :D. Shot with D300, 18-200mm, SB-800. Comments welcome!!!

1. The whole gang

2. First kiss, he has her 2' off the ground :D

3. This is a local political icon (county commisioner) whoe performed the ceremony. She is having the Groom "swear" that he will use the vacuum cleaner, wash clothes, etc.

Got another one coming up next Saturday (second shooter with the same guy again). Maybe I'll learn from these and do a little better...Thanks!

    I think we're all pretty self critical of ourselves. Always wondering what we could have done diferently. Of course with a wedding, we know we can't go back and re-do the day, so we try our best to capture the things that capture our eye. You did a great job! I really wish we could see her feet of the ground in the first kiss picture, but it's still a great shot. I'm glad you had fun, wedding are my choice of work....there's so much to capture, and these are often some of the most cherished pictures of a lifetime. Kepp shooting, you may come to loving wedding shoots mwink.gif.
