So I shot this wedding exactly 1 week ago. Prior to this wedding, I shot with a 70-200 2.8, a Nikon 50 1.8 and a Sigma 17-50 2.8 (which I absolutely hated). I had ordered a Nikon 85 1.8g and the 35 1.8g ED and it came just in time for the wedding. Well, I didn't know that just those 2 lenses would have been so versatile! I was blown away by the quality of the images coming from these lenses and I wish I had made this purchase years ago. If there's anyone thinking of buying any of these lenses, think no more... Just do it!

PS. The last shot was taken with my Nikon D90. My D700 broke right at the end hahaha.

Loved the intensity of expression in the 3rd image. Surprised at how far you pushed the exposures, but like it!

Hey thanks CanonCameraFan,

The images look overexposed on your device? My screen was giving some issues the other day so now that mentioned the exposure, i'm wondering if a 'tune-up' is needed.

Yes, just a bit. 3rd one mostly. Forehead and forearms in the first one. I'm not calibrated, just a decent HP laptop. I like the dreaminess of it all though!

Very much like these. Very natural easy going and fun. I love live portraits. If the majority of clients did not expect the basic posed shots and formals, I would do nothing but these. Sure the composite art work is stunning too... but these are the ones that will truly be treasured.


Why don't you take a picture, it will last longer....

Thanks guys. The clients also loved them :D.

@CanonCameraFan - Yea the B&W one I can thee it clearly. Thanks my friend!

@JustAmateur - Thank you for the kind words!

@Roamingbull - Totally agree with you on that. I wouldn't mind if all my images could be of just real interactions. Unfortunately, the market in which I serve is a bit on the traditional side, so they all want their posed pictures looking into the camera. At least I get to blend it up haha.

@KoolCreation - Thanks man. Yea I like vibrance. Thinks it brings a bit of life to the image.

@Pavanear2 - Thank you my friend!
