Yes, i did use the fong, pointing straight at them...basically using the flash as a fill...trying to improve i'll be getting an extra flash gun and a couple of softboxes and start shooting OFC...but right know using what i have. Luclky my friends liked all the pics.Some friends of them want me to do some portraits so i guess i need something better. Fong has helped me in a lot of pics compared with bare flash...especially indoors.

i like them, your really caught their personalities in the shots! looks like a really fun, loving couple. only nitpic is you cut off their feet on the last shot and grooms are on one before it.

Agreed! My only comment would be I would have pulled her a little further away from the wall in #2. hopefully get rid of a bit of shadow and hopefully isolate her with a little bokeh

This one was on the moment...it was not a posed pic...i would have loved to have her farther apart from the wall...i was planning to use different lenses to get more bokeh but first the ceremony took only 4 to 5 min. and we wait in the lobby for another 5 to 10 min. so the las minute plan was to basically document what was happening and the couple agreed...as you can see is a young couple...both my friends...i would have hesitaded if this was a paid job...i'm not ready for wedding photography but i will be if opportunity knock on my door!

All the pictures were taken with the flash on camera...bouncing using the fong...
on the outdoors pics i had my son helping me with a reflector and on one i had to use a diffusor for the sunlight that was very strong that day...this pics were taken around 6pm but summer time is not a good time. I wanted to take pics around 7 ish but they had things to do...so they said go ahead and there you have it.

Get to your smugmug gallery, find the picture you want to imbed. There is a menu bar over the image, go to SHARE and then link and pick large. Allow the image to be copied.

Over this textbox is a menu bar. There is an icon with a postcard. Click on it and delete the http: and control V to paste the link. That's it!
