Orsburn/Bergum Wedding
My friends parents where getting married and they suggested me to take the photos (I have a feeling this is going to happen a lot lol). They did not need anything special as it was an informal type wedding. I’ve never really shot a wedding so I agreed to gain some experience. And the cool thing was the wedding took place at Lambeau Field in Green Bay Wisconsin. Got to go out on the field and walk in the tunnel where the players come running out. The tunnel had a motion sensors so when we started to walk out you could hear the announcers and the crowd yell.
I learned you need to be on your toes to changing conditions and know your camera VERY well so you don’t think about changing the setting to get the shot. I would improve on my skills with the flash for fill and practice shooting fast and getting everything right like exposure, focus, color, and composition. I would also improve on taking my time when composing and getting groups of people not to blink when i take their photo. I’ve got a lot to learn if i still want to do weddings. But over all it was fun.
Constructive criticism welcome in the comments.

Excellent try Dave, you got some great shots. I think you captured the essence of those “crazy newlyweds”. Funny you say that about knowing your camera. Quite a while back, on a dpreview forum someone wisely commented that to shoot a wedding you need to know how to operate your camera and all it features, “stone cold drunk” I suspect he was right.
03.3.10 on 8:14 pmThank you very much Perry! Shooting a wedding is hard enough and if you can do it stone cold drunk and still operate your camera and get good photos then i think you can take a pictures of anything lol.
03.3.10 on 8:26 pmDave I liked that last shot, the HDR one, that was very cool. I will give you 2 tips. Manual settings and fast shutter speeds. Whatever it takes to get that sharp shot but keep it consistent. You need to know the camera inside and out, but if you keep the settings consistent you don’t need to think about it. Nothing beats sharp.
