My sister-in-law got married last Thursday, and my wife was maid of honor for her. When I got to the wedding, my wife hands me the camera and says "Here, take pictures". Didn't know I was going to be the photographer for the evening.

I happily snapped shots for the next hour and a half, and Mickey edited them into an album we'll give to them when they get back from the honeymoon.

Please tell me what you think.

Here's the album my wife shot and put together for her final in Wedding Photography. I think it's outstanding. The school hired 2 models and they put on a mock wedding. No other people though, so it's hard to make it look like a wedding.

While your at it, check out the rest of my wife's work.

Thanks Crystal.

It's a lot easier to get the candid\interactive shots when you're not the primary shooter. My niece was taking the "official" shots, so I was free to just shoot what I saw.

I hate commenting on something that looks so polished and complete! - First of all, that's a great slideshow you've put together.

The only thing I found distracting was the way you are showing 'outtakes'. For example, where you take three shots in quick succession, I think it has more impact to just select and show the best shot, rather than all three in a collage, which detracts from the main shot slightly.
