I was in Minneapolis April 2005 for one of my best friend's wedding. I only had my Canon 300D with the kit lens (didn't get time to buy the 50 1.8 until after the wedding), but I fired off a bunch of shots inbetween Maid of Honour duties.

Yes, some of them have motionblur, but for my first ever wedding encounter I did find shots I liked. Thought I'd post some shots so I'm fully initiated into this forum.

Nice shots Claire! I really love the one of the bride by the window with the ring bearer, and the last shot of the hands and rings!

Consider yourself initiated (as if you werent already)!!

Congrats Claire-
i always love shots with brides by windows using natural light-

good job-

i look forward to seeing more of your work-

Thanks Mike & Lisa. I've only shot two weddings, this one (eh, if you even wanna call it shooting a wedding!) and my first ever hired one this past Aug. I'll post shots from that one as well.

Well done! Congrats and looking forward to more.

Do tell the story about the HAB on her dress (love the window with the boys too).

Love the hands and rings shot.

Shannon,
Her maiden name was Heather Hugley, now it's Belair. Her mom bought her the HAB thing to show her new initials. It's actually for a necklace, but we put it on her dress for "something new''. For "something blue" we stole her brother's handkerchief which she put down the front of her dress. lol

I really hope the pro got shots of when she saw her husband at the altar. Ha smiled...and wore fake pirate's teeth! She was so stunned, then burst out laughing.

Snyggt, Claire! Those are a great first-time go at it! If I get a wedding in Sweden, I'd love for you to shoot with me!

Do tell if you'll be in Sweden! I'd happily shoot with you. I might need to borrow a lens or two though! I really need decent lenses...
