I asked jmlelii back in April of this year if I could tag along on one of his wedding shoots. I wanted to get an idea of what went on first hand. I got to go with him to a wedding he did early in June on one of the hottest days of the year to an outdoor wedding....fortunately the reception was in doors. I felt I did not shoot well on the whole but did find this sequence during the ceremony I liked.



I'm certain the co-best man was towelling off from the heat, as it were. But you never know, some people just get so emotional at weddings. Course he did get a bit of a surprise at the reception...



...with a strapless bridesmaid gown mishap of sorts? Maybe, but I love his expression.

thx for looking.

Thanks for sharing! Definitely some great expressions (especially the "equipment malfunction").
What was the experience like? Obviously you were not pleased (as you stated in the OP), but can you share what you took away from the whole experience? Given that it's behind you... what might you do differently next time?

thanks!

-Faster Glass, especially for indoors.
-More flash savvy. Not a clue what I am doing with the speedlight at all.
-Don't be afraid to bump ISO to hopefully have a better chance of getting the image I want in focus.
-Try to get in better shape, this was physically not a walk in the park.
-work more with a tripod or mono-pod? I just find them inconvenient except for long exposures or set up/planned shots.
-Be more open to unusual angles and POV's.
-Be more adept at camera technicals to avoid blow out/too dark images.

I'm going to an indoor event at the end of August and I'll see what I can do there. Unfortunately, I will be going as a guest, so I do not want to step on any toes. I prolly do more at the reception as opposed to the nuptials.
