First shots from my first wedding

[Sharkbait]

Shot my first wedding this weekend, and it went great!! It was so much fun, and hey, I made a few bucks to boot!

Here are the first few photos that have gone through post-processing. Some I'm going to have to go back and re-do, as the lighting was piss-awful and I'm still figuring out a good post-processing process to correct them.

And the big winner so far...

Very nice work!

We all knew you had it in you. Glad you had a good time.

Great work Shark!
And the big winner definately stands out. I'm not generally a fan of that technique but it works very well on that shot

I love that last one shark, did you blur it around the edges in PS though? I only ask because the blur doesn't seem constant enough to be DOF and it plays with my eyes a little.

Yeah, it's a new technique I'm trying to simulate DOF. Still playing around with it to really fine-tune it... Good catch!

Same here. The bridal bouquet shot is about the only photo I'd probably ever use that partial coloration technique on.

Great work Shark! The lighting at weddings is almost always a challenge. You did a great job here! :thumbsup:

Great work... I like the last one in your original post...

Awesome pics Shark! Wedding photography is nothing I would even consider doing, but you obviously have it down pat! Can't wait to see more from this shoot and many more!!!

Shark, I love that last one in the second post. Great feeling and wonderful in b&w.

#2 from the 2nd set is cool!
Eventhough I'm not a fan of selective coloring, it looks great in pic 3 from the first set. :thumbsup:

Would you mind sharing the lighting set up you had?

Just the 'house lights', supplemented by my speedlite 550EX with a softbox attached to the front. I've had to do some major color-fixing with most of them (thank god for PS CS's #82 cooling filter enhancer!!) because the houselights were terribly low Kelvin-temp spotlights.
