Ref the full works, let me state here and now that this coverage is a perfect example of why, in 1999, I
really didn't want to start shooting weddings. I thought then that if you shot weddings, this was how you had to shoot them, and I knew that I had neither the skills not the inclination to do that. Fortunately I discovered that not every bride wants this kind of wedding photography, but that's another story.
Plenty of brides
do want just this kind of coverage, though, and I take my hat off to anybody who can do it as well as this. I've gone right through the full wedding twice now, and the best I can do by way of critique is ...
Second one in - the bleb on her thigh needs zapping
Through the window eye makeup doesn't work for me - just too much reflection. There was a cracking shot to be had there but to get it, the window needed to be opened and you needed to be closer.
Blokes in the garden - who was a lucky boy with that lantern then
Procession -
surely he didn't keep looking straight ahead until she was level with him?
Drinks shots - I'd zap that lamp post in the first one. And if you compare the first three with the fourth one (i.e. the one of the bride facing left), you'll see why I always tried to avoid shooting these from behind the bride
Two headshots of the bride before the meal - dunno if it's mainly the processing or what, but to me they do seem a bit limp compared with the other portraits
Speeches - I'd
have to zap the groom's radio aerial in the second one, but they're well caught - even though you were bound to get those backs of heads and shoulders shooting from facing the top table.
And that's all.
This is an
extremely saleable product, and it's very well done indeed. Nice one mister
PS So who was shooting the guys prep?
