My Cousins Wedding Day! (and my first time shoooting a wedding!)

[MattFerrell]

This past Saturday, my cousin Ashley was married at the Williams House B&B in Amelia Island, Florida.

I've never shot a wedding before..
or even been to many weddings..
so it was all new to me.

I shot some photos anyway.

Also.. after the wedding, a limo came and took them clubbing during the night.
I've posted photos from that night at:

But here's photos from the wedding itself.

26. Late afternoon, the guests started to leave and candles were blown out.


Good day and great wedding!

These were all taken with a 50mm lens.
I had another lens on me, but didn't want to miss a moment by having to switch lenses
(and don't have a 2nd body to put it on), so I never ended up using it.

Instead, when I needed to get a wider shot (like #15 and #16), I just screwed on a fisheye adapter to the 50mm.
It adds some distortion to the edges of the image, but overall it worked okay.

For lighting, I used a SB-600 off camera, with a LumiQuest Pro Max System attached..
using the 80-20 shoot through top to bounce off ceiling if I was indoors, or the white cover attached when I was outdoors.

They're all really nice! #7 is really cute. #8 is my favorite with the buggy, driver and horse in the background. It just has lots of depth. #12 I like because not only are the bride and groom looking intently at something, but the horse is nosey as well. #19 just cracked me up!! Really funny! Love it!

This is a cracking set but I have to say I love the cheekyness of number 7 ......... sticking her toungue out at you

Just goes to show what amazing things can be done with one $100 50mm lens! fantastic set, love #1 and #18
