BEST WEDDING SHOT OF 2008 - Photographers with UP TO 3 YEARS EXPERIENCE - ENTER HERE

[mcgovernphoto]

<p>This is from one of my more recent weddings. I have been shooting weddings for just over two-and-a-half years now, and have shot around 30 weddings so far.<br>

The bride was walking past the stained-glass windows at the church and I stopped her to get this shot. I am proud of it since I saw it in my head prior to taking it.<br /><br />Taken with my Canon 40D, Canon EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 lens, ISO 400, 1/10 sec @ f/3.2<br /><br />Natural light from the adjacent stained glass window only. NO photoshopping.<br>

<p>This is my first year shooting professionally. Yes, I blew out the highlights and I have tons of bridal portraits that are better technically, but I think this is a more interesting shot.<br />Canon 5D, EF 24-70 L, ISO 500, 1/50 F/4.5</p><div></div>

<strong>The end of a perfect day</strong><br>

Pentax K10D, Sigma 10-20mm, iso 500, 1/10 sec, F8, manual exposure, flash fired (Metz AF 48-1)<br>

This was my *first* wedding and I think it's the best shot of a wedding I've done so far. The couple loved this image, because it captured the story of the day allmost in a single image.<br>

The only planning I did, was to the chauffeur to make sure that the couple would get in the car on the far side of the building. That way, I knew i would get a nice view of the couple, the car and the little castle in the background. The pose was completely natural, no direction on my part.<br>

Hope you like it too.</p>

<p>Sorry for my previous mess-up posts! I hope I get this image right.<br>

My husband picked this one as his favourite from among 5 I couldn't decide on. This was around my 20th wedding in the past 2 years. The couple were gorgeous and very sweet and friendly. I'm an American working in County Kildare, Ireland. The picture was taken on my Canon 20D with either a 85mm 1.8 or 100mm 2.0 lens. It was taken at Kilkea Castle in Co. Kildare. www.lisa-odwyer.smugmug.com</p><div></div>

<p>2008 was our first year shooting weddings professionaly. This our last wedding of the year, Dec 20th, and I loved the wall lights so much that I thought it would make a great photograph....I'm very pleased with the image as is the bride. Shot with a D300.</p>

<p>Somehow my picture was deleted, but the description wasn't, so I am posting it again.<br>

I will call the picture "Anticipation". I shot it on Jan. 03 using a Canon XSi, with an EF28-135mm lens, f5.6, ISO 1600. I have been a wedding photographer's assistant for over 1 1/2 years and a second shooter for 6 months. Photography (and weddings) are so much fun!<br>

<p>At this, our second wedding, everyone was asked to step outside during the reception. As everyone left the hall they were given an unlit sparkler.<br>

Once everyone was ready, the Bride & Groom told the story of how the Maid of Honour was responsible for getting them together. She was the 'spark' who lit their romance.<br>

To bond the wedding guests to the same 'spark' the Maid of Honour proceeded to light everyone's sparkler.<br>

As people started returning to the dance, we pulled the wedding party aside and asked them to pose for this picture, thinking it could be used for their Thank You cards.</p>

<p>2 Seconds at f/5.6, 320 ISO Focal Length 22mm (Canon EOS 30D, Tokina 12-24mm f/4)</p>

<p>This was taken at my first wedding (I've shot five so far). The flower girl and ringbearer were not cooperating at all during the formal portraits, but luckily I was able to get some shots after everyone else had left.<br>

Info: 24mm, 2.8, 1/60, ISO 800. Shot with a Canon 20D<br>

[rebecca_eby]

<p>This was my first full year shooting weddings (I had two free ones the year before and that was it). As of this month, I have 32 weddings under my belt. I never was a second shooter, and spent hours pouring over online forums soaking up everything I could.</p>

<p>This was a particularly memorable couple, and they had this way of getting wrapped up in each other like the rest of the world disappeared. They also knew they wanted amazing pictures, and were willing to try anything. Taken this October at Devil's Lake State Park near Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin.</p>

<p>Taken with a Nikon D80, 85mm, ISO 800, f1.8, 1/2000. Shot in JPG, processed in Lightroom. I antiqued it a bit, added a slight vignette, and lightly warmed it up.<br /> <img src="http://imagesofdistinction.smugmug.com/photos/464270026_jeHLW-M-0.jpg" alt="" /></p>
