First Wedding....

The first image is my favorite. It shows the true emotion. I remember shooting my first wedding. Boy have I learned since then. Every wedding is unique. Congrats on your future in wedding photography!

Looks like you did a pretty solid job from the three images you posted. My first wedding job will be in August, so I will know what you went through soon enough.

I like the one of the little man.

AS for family photogs, tell them to get out of the way. You have to show them that you are in charge because you were paid to take these photos. And, yeah, formals are horrible. Someone is always blinking or looking off the wrong way.

Also....

#2 has a slight distortion. If you look at the lines on the brick you can see where it bows down in the middle. Fix that. Always look for this when you are shooting with a symmetrical background and they may want to print that one out big. Easy fix though.

You can also put stipulations in your contract about others taking photos. You have a contract, right?

Aren't weddings stressful? These shots are not bad, not bad at all for your first go-round. The last is my favorite

I've seen worse! Little guy is great.

Brick wall is the tool of the devil. Just say no.

What church restrictions are you talking about? I'm just curious....lol. I love all of them, and I want to see more! Great job!

I want to see more, anyone can pick out three images. Give us 15 to 20. I am with everyone else, the three you posed are definitely great but to post 20 or 30 excellent images from a wedding is "professional". I'm not trying to be a turd but I think you have to give your peers something to critique. Let's see some more...

Shooting your first wedding as a primary shooter is like doing a first solo in a plane. You made it!
