Heres a couple from the VERY LAST wedding I will ever do. I shot wedding for over 20 years and now its all commercial work but this is a family I've down a couple dozen jobs for over the years and I tried to say NO.
Check out bridesmaid group. The brides brother was the moh.

Nice photos, and oh my what a large bridal party.

That is the largest bridal party I have ever seen.....guess she couldn't decide huh?

Great shots.....always good to go out on top.

Nice work--- what was your setup (body & lens) for the bible and ring shot?

I shoot all prime and I only have 3 lenses and a couple 5Ds.

24L which I used on the big group, 35L which I shot porbably 80% of the wedding with and 85L which I used on the ring blessing shot. Not my best wedding but it turned out good overall. I haven't shot one in a long time. But it is my last, and I've shot over 1000 and over 1/3 of those with Hasselblads.

The largest wedding I ever photographed was a big Serbian wedding. It was a long time ago 40 people in the bridal party including the B&G and flower girl & r/b. 1200 guestes. I started at 10 am and was still working at 1:00 am. OUCH..

Thanks for all the kind words and I feel good about the job I did but I'll leave these things to you younger guys and gals.

You're stepping out with a lot of grace! Very nice shots, the couple in the background of #5 crack me up! It looks like it was a lot of fun to shoot. I do have to agree on the size of the bridal party tho...unreal!

Yes! that sure is a lot of red dresses

Looks like they are very lucky to have you do the shoot.
