First wedding... C&C?..

[michaelsink]

Ok, the day after Thanksgiving I shot my first wedding as lead photographer. The setting was very romantic if you were a guest, the only lights on were the stage lights (red/blue gelled "cans") and small candles on the tables. But from a photographer's standpoint it was scary as heck! I went through the night switching between Av mode (for ambient light shots), and P (for flash shots uisng a betterbounce card), changing ISO for each mode, and running around in the dark trying not to run into people :D !

Well enough of my whining, it was a beautiful ceremony, they both had a wonderful day, and were very pleased with their pics, so here are a few. The rest can be found here... http://www.flickr.com/photos/sinks/sets/72157594416706785/
by the way, the blue speck on this one is a sequin on the veil

I think they are wonderful... I love number 2 and 3, I don't know who the man is, but the feeling I get is he is the dad?

[michaelsink]

Yes, that was her Dad, as well as the minister! Great fella!

This should probably be in the wedding section.

During the ceremony, what lens did you use?

[michaelsink]

david,
I noticed that the wedding forum is in the "talk about photography" section. If this could go there that would be great, any mod wanna move this? I shot mostly with the 70-200 2.8 IS, and the 85mm 1.8

Very nicely done. The ammount of available light can get the blood running.

I think you did an outstanding job with the lighting conditions you had to work with.

Ok, just to clarify, and share a little bit o' weirdness...

The top one is in the dressingroom (bathroom at the restaurant), the b/w of the couple at the stage is lit by the stage ligts (red/blue tungsten) the halo behind him is a street light. The father is sitting in the "normal" light at this venue (which will typically get me about 1/60-1/100 at ISO 1600 f/1.8-2.8~. And the last one is available light only on stage but I clicked for white balance in DPP to get their faces right, which turned the tungsten outside/on the wall behind them green! Crazy how that works!

Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate it!! Keep them coming, and be sure to check the flickr feed for more.
