Happy New Years everyone! Carlee and I rang in the New Year by attending a wedding of a friend of ours. We had the honor of not only attending as guests, but also as the official wedding photographers. So we busted out the new Canon XTi, borrowed another from a friend of ours, borrowed a tripod, and slung on the camera bags and went to work. What a way to attend a wedding. You get an all access pass to every pre and post wedding event.Overall, I think we did a pretty damn good job for two free amateur wedding photographers. We took over 1300 photographs and are about to start sorting out all the good from the bad so that we can pass on a final set to the bride and groom. We will actually give them all 1300(+) but we figure that we should make a CD of the best ones as well as do some basic photo-shopping. It was a night wedding so the lighting was really tough and the flash was washing people out. I ended up moving to a manual setting with some different shutter speeds and ISO settings for the pictures in this post (all of these images are resized for easier posting and viewing).
We thought the whole thing was a pretty awesome experience and if anyone is in the market for a cheap wedding photographer, just let us know. In order from top to bottom, left to right:
- (Top of the Post) Ringing in the New Year with sparklers on the balcony of The Manor.
- The first kiss
- Bride and a bride's maid
- Couple dancing
- Line dancing
- The groom, his sister, and the groomsmen posing for fun
- Bride, groom, and the bride's attendants
- The wedding planner adjusts the bride's train as they get ready for photos. I like the movement of the train in this one.
