Just did my first wedding shoot

[yhelothar]

Comments and critiques please 🙂

These were all shot with my trusty old Pentax *ist DS with either a kit lens or the venerable 50mm F/1.4 SMC Takumar

Thanks! I'm glad they don't look weird. I spent between 2-5hrs on a single pic of some of these.

Trust me, I knwo how it goes. I usually spend 60-80hrs processing photos from weddings.

Haha wow, I don't feel so bad for having taken 3 months already then.

Any links to your galleries?

The site could be better, but I'm still slowly learning. Click on "proofs" to see all the full galleries.

3 months to process a wedding is ridiculous though. Don't you think the couple is getting anxious?

Beautiful pics.

3mo is long but I'm actually not getting paid for this shoot since it's my first one, so anything that they get, I think they'd be happy with. Plus she had a few other photographers there.

How long do you usually take after a wedding to send the pics in?

It amazes me that our photog delivered over 500 pics in under a month, all looking great.

I could've saved a looot of time on post processing if I had a better body and made a nice reflector, that or a flash with a diffuser.
