Excellent shots, I bet the bride and groom's are very happy with them :)

May I ask what lens you generally use for shooting these?

Thanks guys, I do love no. 20 too, one of my favourite.



Thanks, I used 2 x 5dii and mostly 24-70L and 135L in the day mostly, and at night inside it was 16-35L and the 50/1.4 with a 580exii & 550ex.

Today my 24-70L died at 11am....error 01, right in the middle of the bride getting dressed....the next 12 hours it was 16-35, 50 & 85.

I am so glad i bought the 85/1.8 yesterday.

Good luck & enjoy :D :D

I remember seeing a link to a site where the wedding photographer had just a tilt-shift & 70-200 with one camera, one battery and one card - in an emergency of course. The shots were fantastic, anyone still got the link?

I'd love to give wedding photography a go one day...

I am sure you will have a few gems there, and you are too kind Wedge, thanks for your kind words, again !

My first wedding, 3/4 years ago now, looking back, it was done with a single 30D, 28-105 Mkii and a 50/1.8. The results was average at best looking back and i had to process some shots quite heavily to get them half decent. I have learn a lot from it too. I can't blame my kit (slow, bad ISO), but i also didn't know what i was doing really. Second wedding was better, and 3rd was okay. What I really really learn was the one with Ruth and Andy. I took it on all by myself, jumped in with both feet, and pulled it off. (phew).

What I also learn, and i am REALLY REALLY REALLY glad i did, was when i went to Hong Kong back in April and use nothing but my 50mm on my 30D for a week. It turns out to be an exercise that was worth doing !

And I learn a LOT from using that focal length. It certainly came in handy yesterday when my 24-70L broke and I was basically stuck with primes - 50/85/135 from 11am to midnight.

Ray, just reading your post about correctly exposing the subject (people) at the expense of the background exposure - do you tend to use aperture priority and spot metering to achieve that? Or just use perhaps evaluative metering and keep a close eye on the exposure and then use exposure compensation?

Still no? Sorry, a bit OT. Was just a weird coincidence. :p

There was no live band with drums there.

I tend to use aperture priority, unless in situation like this where i would go manual. :) It takes a little longer but I have a few seconds to get it right when they are doing to makeup anyway. So it works out ok.
 
Incredible stuff. I thought the photos I had done at my wedding were good, but yours are just a different class.

Next time I get married, I'll be sure to hire you! (j/k :p)

Have to say that they're right, Raymond's photos are awesome. :cool:

If I ever find someone dumb enough to agree to marry me.....

When you do get hitched, drop me a line :)

All the photos in this thread are ace :cool:! No-doubt by the time I do get married Ray will be able to charge insane amounts due to reputation, but these photos are definitely head & shoulders above most of the competition.
