Cristel & Jeff's Wedding 11.12.11
Just want to thank Cristel & Jeff for letting Ron, Eric, & I shoot their wedding. It was my first wedding I got to shoot and it was a lot of fun. I hope to have more in the future. A few things I might add for those who never shot a wedding, have one coming up, or tips in general.- Majority of the shots were taken with a wide angle lens using Eric's Tamron 17-35mm F/2.8-4. For me, not only do I have fun, but the perspective of a wide angle can get more then you are striving for. The lens was sharp wide open, although I never used it passed 17mm, only because of two reasons; One, I wanted my shots wide because it will make it easier for me to crop if I needed to. Two: Going pass 17mm isn't at f stop 2.8 any more which may be more of a hassle shooting natural low light. This is probably going to be my new next lens.
- Invest or rent fast lens. The 50mm F/1.4 & 85mm F/1.4 did very well. This will not only help you get shots your going for, but it will benefit you and make it a lot easier getting results.
- Arrive early. Not only will you have time to prepare, but its makes it a lot easier for yourself not to rush because when you rush, you tend to forget and most importantly miss detail key photos that is needed.
- Keep shooting, keep shooting, keep shooting. Don't stop taking photos. You can review them later because moments that you aren't capturing, will probably never happen again. Bring extra memory cards.
If your wondering what camera, lens, & flash I used,
D700, 17-35mm F/2.8-4, 24-70mm F/2.8, 50mm F/1.4, 85mm F/1.4, & SB 800. Again a lot of shots were taken with the Tamron 17-35mm F/2.8-4.
More photos soon. Kindly enjoy these photos.
