Default I'm No Longer a Virgin! (First Wedding Pictures)

Ah yes, I shot my first wedding yesterday (June 30th). I had butterflies in my tummy all morning and made myself sick over shooting my first wedding. However, when I got there I started to relax but I just couldn't get my creative juicies flowing that morning. I feel like the pictures turned out rather "average" and I'm hoping the wedding on 7-7-07 will be much better. Too see more pictures check out my blog.

Nothing " average" about these. I like them !! Great job with the one's you have shown. Other than #8 being OOF ( I am sure the action occurred fast), I enjoyed the series. Would like to see more.

You really need to raise your prices. These are wonderful!!!!!

The only thing I probably would have done differently is make the selective focus in #2 on the flowers instead of the couple. The ring shot is so original. I've not seen anything like it elsewhere. Very, very nice.

Hey MrsOpie. I really like these. Not too sure if I'm crazy on the PP on 1 3 and 4 though. I personally think they'd look great high-key B&W though. Just a personal preference.

My girlfriend said the same thing when she saw it and said "I don't think that's appropriate!" I told her I wasn't sure if he did but it does look like it.

Cool Re: I'm No Longer a Virgin! (First Wedding Pictures)

They look great! My wife really likes your work. She visited your website and loves the colors. We also have "our" first wedding shot 07-07-07. We have done about 6 for a family friend in upper South Carolina. Not such great pay, but the experience was worth it's weight in gold. Can't wait to see more of your work!

Great job, especially for your first. It looks as though your focus was a bit off on some of them, or there's some camera shake going on due to slow SS, I didn't check to see if the EXIF was intact. I like the PP on all of them but #5, it's a little on the red side. Looks like you had a fun couple for your first, which is nice. For #2, I would have tried focusing on the bouquet, but that's just me. Love the ring shot! I couldn't get my creative juices flowing at yesterday's wedding, either, so I know how that goes. I was all ready w/ideas after looking at the site online, but the couple was just totally not into it, and they were so far behind in their schedule I only had 10mins for B&G pics, plus the place was super super dark. I feel like they turned out average (mine from yesterday). Sometimes it's just that way, I guess. Anyway, sorry for getting side tracked. Looking forward to seeing more from you!

*claps her hands* I am so proud of you. The cake smashing face and the groomsmen licking the groom made me burst out in absolute laughter for a couple minutes. It was fabulous. you are fabulous and your images reflect how fabulous you are. And, here's one more FABULOUS just for the heck of it!
