How'd i do

[scotteisenphotography]

Well, I had never shot a wedding before. Last friday i did my first. We got 9 inches of snow right before it and made things hectic and a mess. Took the limo about 30 minutes to get up the driveway. Here are a few i like... let me know what you think... mainly shot with 5D 24-70 or 85L....

You did good, properly exposed. I'd get tighter crop & shoot wide open to isolate subject(s) and a bit different angles, framing, but that's my opinion only ;) yours might be different.

I'm not a professional so I can't comment on the technical side of things but as someone who likes photography I like them...I like them a lot!

THanks guys!

Good job for a first time, nice exposures and it's refreshing to see someone who used flash and didn't get pinlights.

first question i have is what do you mean by pinlight?
i think the pictures are ok. however some of them seem to be straight on, i dont do this kind of photography, so someone correct me if i am wrong, but i think the pictures would be better if you shot more from an angle, and if the faces were more from the side, especially on the first few.

as i said i dont do this type of photography so its hard for me to criticize yours but, thats the way i see it/
but i really like that last photo and the one of the child,

i would of attempted to get a shorter DOF on some of the shots, like #4, but id say you definantly did well for a first wedding.

Hah, well thanks guys. I would've done other angles if i had been more confident...just needed to get these right the first time..then i can mess around!

Pinlights are hard tiny dots of light reflection in the middle of the pupil.

Pinlights are hard tiny dots of light reflection in the middle of the pupil.
I believe they are also called catch lights and are generally preferred, giving the photo more life.

Very nice first effort by the way!
