This was actually a favor for my friend and it went pretty well.
I did find some new respect for wedding photographers because its not easy getting everyone to work with you!

I like the one of the kiss with the sunlight! It's kind of a weird crop though - maybe waist on up would be better? I think you could do a little more PP for the colors.
The one of the bride and the flower girl is very sweet.
I want to go to Mexico.

The bride wanted to keep the full picture. I thought it looked better with a crop from where the waves break to the top... gotta please the customers though:lol:
It was fun shooting all these but I Definitely need to buy my 24-105 L lens for the next time, that way I won't be changing lenses so much.

Concerning your last post, I would really aim to shoot with two camera bodies with lenses attached that will cover the focal lengths you need. you will work quickly and effectively this way and not miss moments because you were switching lenses. Just an idea. Having one lens and one body is a risky scenario for an important day.
Your images look nice. A little fill-flash would have helped on the third shot but it still looks good.

I won't be buying extra body's or lenses anytime soon.... This was basically a one time favor for my best friend and until I develop my skills quite a bit, there will be no more weddings in my future!

He could have at least gotten a manicure for his wedding day

Very nice but they seem a bit soft. Here are a couple of crop suggestions.

Yeah, the lens I used is a bit soft:D.....But not anymore, I just bought a 24-105mm L so now I won't be able to blame anything but myself;)

Why not the 24-70 f2.8 ? A prime like the 85f/1.8 or 50f/14 would have been perfect for this. I have yet to shoot a wedding.

I use my 50 1.4 for some.
I like the extra reach of the 24-105 Plus the IS is a good thing. I wish they made it in a 2.8 but I'll have to deal with it how it is. I always have the 50 1.4 to use if I need it.
