Paid Wedding.
I have got to say I was quite apprehensive about this as I guess you only get one shot at it. As it turned out the Bride and Groom are rapt with the results so I can breathe again :lol:

Here are a few from the day.

The 3rd one is my pic Mark, very nice indeed. Do you have others on a link?

Cheers

Nice images, I like #3, find #1 a bit shiny. Dont you just love the rush you get after completing a shoot and then the clients loving the images.

As above, #3 is best, then #2 and #1 can be fixed up nicely

Sure was good. I met with them this evening and the look on their faces said it all. Was very satisfying to know how they felt.

Haven't had time to do much PP'ing other than a quick B&W conversion on a few images. Still quite a bit of work to do but it's all good fun

well done mark......... if this is a small sample, then it appears that you have a very happy customer.......

Well done Mark!

I like all of them, but as others have said #3 is my pick. These all look shot in a studio environment, is that how all the shots played out? I would love to see some non studio shots if you got them.

Happy couple = happy photographer and exceeding expectations is the best way to achieve that. No stopping you now

Cheers,

Nice shots Mark. #2 & #3 are my picks. #1 is a nicely composed shot of the couple - as said just needs a slight tuoch up. Cheers, Mick

#3 is a ripper mark. Congrats on your first, of many,

successes.
cheers

Well done! They are all very good, but because of the angles the third is my favourite.

third shot is my favourite also.

Thanks for the positive comments folks.

Craig, not in a studio. Outdoors but I used my Sigma 180 from a distance with my assistant (wife) holding the 2nd flash (SB600) with Lightsphere about a metre from the couple. I used manual settings to underexpose the background to take it out of play. The B&W treatment enhances the effect.

Here is a group shot with more conventional lighting. This one was taken with the kit lens, SB800 in command mode on camera and SB600 off to the left up high. Both flashes wore Lightspheres. The lighting in most of the group shots (and there were lots) came out nice and even.
