Shot my first wedding yesterday.. phew!... it was some experience.. 15+hours on my feet, and I was the second shooter!
Will be posting pictures in the photo sharing section over the next day or two, but here is what basically happened:
- another photographer contacted me to second shoot for the day
- I shot with my 5D3 + 70-200L II all day (my SD card, his CF card in my camera)
- He shot with 16-35II, 24-70II & 100L for ring shots.
- Was quite an eye opener and amazing experience
- Bride was 5 months pregnant, so we couldn't do location shoot properly.. on top it was 43 degrees Celsius so bride was exhausted throughout the day but everything else went according to the plan. I usually specialise in night time / indoor reception & lighting so reception was a breeze for me.. but got to learn a lot about getting ready shots, detail shots and at the actual ceremony.. bumping my ISO up to 6400 in the church and shot all ambient! Church shoot was the biggest eye opener for me.. its no way near as easy as people might think it might be.. especially the church we shot in had very low ambient light with very high / curved black ceilings so there was no point using flash.
Very happy with the results (looking at raw pictures).. I shot 1285 pictures all up.. i think he shot about 2K+.. will post some pictures once i get some time to process them!
