Default Friend's Wedding

Thought I'd share a couple from the wedding of a good friend and fellow photog. This was a wedding present from me to him, but it was more nerve wracking than any paid shoot!


(on camera flash - bad, but time was very very tight!)


All natural light and one of my faves!


Abandoned building on way to reception - the limo driver thought I was insane! 580EX reflected into a brolly, cam left.

Comments, critiques and questions welcome from all!

The first is definitely my favorite! I don't care if it was built in flash, but the result was quite unique and fantastic. I wish my wedding photographer had gotten some interesting shots like this but shhhhh don't tell her. LOL.

I think they are all good shots, but I think the first one is my fav. It turned out great for on camera flash.

I really like the first photo. Love the the way it's lit, even though you weren't happy that you had to use an on camera flash. Very nice picture.

you did great. I would never want to do weddings. Present or not. lol.

The first shot is actually my favorite. Even if it is an on camera flash I think it looks great.
