Default First Wedding Gig

Just did an update on my first paid gig. A photog buddy asked me to be a second photographer at a wedding last weekend. Check out my blog post about the experience: SJCT Photography: Wedding Update. And some pictures here: http://sjctphotography.blogspot.com/...ig-photos.html Let me know if you have any further tips or thoughts!

Can we see some photos before we give you some further tips or thoughts? All I see is an announcement that you shot a wedding. Kind of hard to give you any other advice without photos.

For sure. Actually, what I'd posted on my site was a list of all the things that I'd learned while shooting the wedding. I also included the fact that I was waiting on approval from the bridge and groom to post pictures.

You got some really nice shots in there. I particularly like the ones with the guys with their jackets over their shoulders, the piano, and the little girl. She is adorable, and the pose is great. Nice job!

Nice work. A good variety of different compositions and nothing really looks "posed" which is very refreshing.

Thanks RELum. The little flower girl was adorable! I'd just point the camera at her and she'd instantly smile, making herself even cuter.

Looks good, but why is your blog like 600px wide?
