So, it happened this past weekend - one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever been to and I got to shoot it!! It was quite a learning experience - I found that my beloved Z70-200 lens does much better in daylight than in the challenging light of our sanctuary - the shots were ok, but softer than I would have liked. I found that when posing the bridal couple on a step they should have positioned themselves toward the back of said step - the bride ended up looking like she was levitating 6" off the ground!
I was able to salvage an otherwise decent shot by giving it a 3/4 crop, but lesson learned. I think my overall score for the ceremony would be about a 7/10 - I am definitely NOT a professional, nor do I play one on TV!
Very nice photos thanks for sharing saying hello from Pittsburgh.

I think you did a very nice job, Sue. Considering this was your first wedding shoot.
I think the Bride and Groom will treasure these images.
will
VERY GOOD, Sue!
The capture of emotions really makes these photos stand out.
Very nice job. Two suggestions. In the bridal portrait have her rotate a little more toward you. Signing the license show his entire face. When I did weddings I would pose them for this shot.

This wasn't posed - I had to take it as it happened.
I'll keep in mind your suggestion for the bridal portrait if I ever do this again.
Looks like you did a good job Sue!
Nicely done Sue and congrats on shooting your first wedding! It's one thing to think you can do a wedding, but actually knowing you can is an amazing feeling. I'm sure they will be happy with the pictures.
Nice work, Sue. The couple should be very pleased.

Nice couple. I found that one stem that is higher than the rest of the bouquet annoying. I would have cut it to be more or less be in line with the overall height of the arrangement.
