Default First wedding... As main photographer.

Well on June 27th I shot my first real wedding. All I have to say is it is one of the most stressful things I have ever done. I think the pictures turned out well though. Here are a few of my favorites. You can see all of them at http://brianhurseyphotography.com/?page_id=32

Thumbs up Well worth the stress

hi Brian. I think these are great! Great timing on that first shot and the b/w works really well. The third image is a nice variation of the more common version; I like it. Excellent use of natural light on the last one...beautiful bride.

The second one? Well...it's my favorite! The composition and DOF is perfect and those pink shoes totally make the shot! Excellent work!

Very nicely done. The second one would be my favorite, too.

Great work. Most wedding photographs come out looking generic. You've successfully deviated from that.

Thank you that means allot to me. I wish I could be a little more creative however she wanted very specific things and I had little time to get them.
