Hi,
I started to shoot wedding pictures for people in my area. From what i've seen on other wedding photographers' portfolio, they seem to have the extra oomph on their pictures. Picture processing aside, the moments they managed to capture really baffles me at times. The candids, to know the exact moment, etc... how do they get those shots?

Do you, wedding photographers, use a single focus point mainly centre focus point?

Do you, wedding photographers, use auto select focus points or rather manually select focus points to shoot?

what kinda auto focus do you all use? for me, i use One Shot only but for moving down the aisle, etc i use AI Servo.

I'd appreciate the feedbacks that you people will give. thanks

Experience. And some images you think are candid aren't really candid at all.

Post a link to the image of a shot you do like, if you didn't take it.
Then maybe we have something we can work with.
