I shot my first wedding in June, and with my second coming up this weekend.... I thought I would ask for any last minute advice or comments..... BRING IT ON! I can take it! LoL



I am very nervous for the one this weekend.... it is a formal black tie event at a very expensive and gorgeous place....at The View on the Hudson. Plus, the wedding is at sunset. I hope the sunset is behind me and not them! :)

Thanks so much!

cool pictures, i think they're really good, i especially like the one where the girl is black and white and the flowers are color

They seem a bit soft. Have you tried adding up some sharpening? For wedding portraiture, i would maybe suggest the 50mm f/1.8. It's cheap, insanely sharp (from around 2.2->)and fast.

The pictures look very nice. DOF is especially good in the portraits(4th and 5th shots).

The one thing i do notice is some loss of detail in your whites. This is especially noticible in the brides dress (2nd, 4th and 5th shot) and on the cake in the last shot. You might want to underexpose slightly to compensate for that next time.
Also, watch your backgrounds when shooting as not to have distracting backgrounds as in that last shot.

A sunset wedding should have great light...have fun!
