He was up the tree before I could finish my sentence, "How would you feel about climbing..." She was a little more reluctant, but saw a once in a lifetime opportunity and eventually climbed on up with a little help from myself and the best man!<br>

Thanks for the opportunity to share!<br>

<p>Shot with Nikon D80, Nikkor 17-55mm 2.8 DX lens, ISO 250... applied color burn in ps<br>

BTW This was my first independent wedding [i was always working with my Mentor]. I have been coatched for almost a year.</p><div></div>

<p>Forgot the caption.<br>

<br /> I was actually a guest for this one and shot this with my point and shoot. I had to crop the right side because of a car in the parking lot that could be seen through the horse drawn coach. Other than that, applied levels, contrast, smart sharpen, black and white layer for sharpness. thanks.</p>

<p>While the bride was in the house having her hair and make-up done, the little flower girl was in the backyard playing with bubbles. The image was created with ambient light and some slight work in Photoshop but not much (i.e. just some sharpening).<br>

I've been shooting weddings for about 3 years now.</p><div></div>

<p>This was my first wedding I shot in April 2008, so I haven't been at this quite a year! I used my canon XTi, 18-35mm f6.3 @ 1/200 iso 400. Natural light with fill flash -3 comp.</p><div></div>

Fifth Wedding down, and no weddings planned for this year.</p><div></div>

<p>I've been shooting weddings for 6 months. I'm a freshman in college, but was fortunate to have the fall semester off as part of a special program. I started weddings this past July and worked through October. I won't start again until the summer so I'm not overwhelmed at school (which I'm literally leaving for tomorrow). This was one very interesting wedding. It was a Marine wedding and the groom's family had a passion for Harley's. Put 'em all together and what do you get? One very unique and beautiful wedding. Shot with a Nikon D300, Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR. ISO 200, 70mm, f/5.6, 1/200. Talk about a wild series of shots, I was hanging halfway out a car window on the interstate with two cameras slung around my neck!</p><div></div>

<p><img src="C:\Users\Melissa\Pictures\WEDDING.jpg" alt="" /> This was my first wedding. I generally shoot children and babies. This was my brother's wedding and was done as a gift. I shoot with a Nikon D40x Nikkor 18-55mm.</p>

<p>So far ... I've shot five weddings. This picture is from my very first last March. Shot with a Canon 40D 28-135mm and Speedlite 430EX. Processing was done in Photoshop. Technically ... this was one of my least strong from the day. But emotionally ... it was the winner. The bride is American and the groom British. She was leaving her family to live in England and they were just devastated. So, I made this picture especially for them and entitled it "Au Revoir."</p>

<p>One of my first weddings... 08 was my first year. The Bride and Groom wanted a shot in the chapel next to their church -- it was where they were engaged. When we got inside, totally unexpectedly, they dropped to their knees in the aisle to pray. It was a great moment.<br>

Post in Lightroom is just curves. Shot with a 40D with a 24-70 2.8L. 1/100, f/3.2, ISO800.<br>

<p>This is one of the images from my very first wedding ever, which was about 2 years ago. We were at a local park waiting for the rest of the bridesmaids to arrive for photos, and I just thought I'd take a few pics while we waited. Til this day, this is my favorite. The camera used at the time was a Nikon D40. Settings: not recorded.</p>

<p>This was a lucky shot on Sydney Harbour Australia, as I had been shooting in the shade at iso 1600, and turned around to see the couple moneky-around. My assistant grabbed the soft box (SB800 via CLS) and I shot into the sun without time to change settings (ended up 1/2500 f/8 iso 1600) Luckily high speed sync was "ON".</p>

<p>I am relatively new to weddings but have been passionate about photography for ~10 years.</p><div></div>

<p>I have been shooting weddings for less than 2 years (about a year assisting and this is my 2nd quarter of having my own business). This shot was taken with my old Nikon D70s and was only my 2nd solo wedding. It was shot with a Nikkor 18-55mm at 50mm 1/125 f/6.3 ISO 400 using natural light only.<br><br /><br />Not my best shot technically or with my best equipment, but these two were so natural and so in love that this is my absolute favorite photo from a wedding.</p></p><div></div>

<p>I have been photographing weddings for almost 2 years, and have done about 30 so far. This photo was taken from a wedding I photographed in July. The families were of Ukrainian descent. It was fascinating to experience a wedding from another culture. I have never seen so many guest cameras! This shot is of the flower girl as she makes her way down the aisle. Nikon D200, 85mm. lens, 2.5, 1/100.<br>

<strong>Lights, Cameras, Action!</strong><br>

<p>My first go around and a very dark old church, NO flash allowed. . I like the feeling of this photograph, even with the poor light and noise. It's like a priviate moment being watched over. Used a 10D with a 70-200 f/2.8L hand held, ISO 800 1/90th sec @ f/2.8</p><div></div>

my second wedding</p><div></div>

<p>I hope it's not too late...here we go:<br>

This is actually my first *real* wedding! I was hired to go to Sicily in May 2008 to photograph a wedding for a couple from London. I am living in Oslo, Norway, so this was a great (a bit terrifying actually) challenge and a huge inspiration! Daniel Mikkelsen joined me as a co-photographer. If I should pick out one shot, I'd say it would be this one. I think it really conveys the thrilling atmosphere, you can actually feel the energy as the couple walks down the chairs outside the church after the ceremony heading for the car. The place was packed with people and you can see some of them in this photograph. I hope the atmosphere comes through in the photograph, I might be a bit biased since I was there experiencing the whole thing. It was an amazing experience and the couple (Amelia and Johnny) were so nice people. As were their friends and families! Tech specs: Canon 5D, EF 16-35 2.8L, f3.2, 1/500s.</p><div></div>

<p>This was my first wedding. I usually photograph children and babies. this was my brothers wedding and was done as a gift. I used a Nikon D40x with the nikkor 18-55mm lens. This shot was actually a candid. They were reading a wedding card and she looked up at just the right time. Nice little surprise.</p><div></div>

I was a guest at this wedding but brought my Canon Xti with 17-85 IS lens and 420EX flash. I should have stopped down a little closer to f/8 to get better focus on all of the subjects. This bride and groom are elementary school teachers at the same school and they invited all of their students to the wedding and for a few brief moments posed with all of them. I took about two hundred photos (the main photographer was also an amateur/volunteer) at the wedding and this was not the best photo but in many ways it represents one of the more enjoyable moments of the event<div></div>
