Mr Nervous! (first wedding today)

[str8shoota]

I am about 3 hours away from shooting my first wedding as the main photographer. It's starting to sink in how important it all is now and the nerves are getting the better of me!

...wish me luck.

Good luck str8shoota! just remember people can detect nervousness like dogs detect fear! confidence is key! Im sure you will do great!

I wonder who the wedding went...Nothing made the news headlines or papers.

[str8shoota]

The wedding was beautiful. I wish teh same could be said about my very boring photos... I will post a couple if I find any decent ones.

lol, I feel like that after every wedding I shoot :o , shhh don't tell anyone! Let them sit in your computer for a day or 2 and then get heavy on the edit, you might surprise yourself. How many shots did you take?

Remember you only need a few good ones to start feeling good about it. Let us know how it goes :)

Finally thought I would put a couple of shots on from this wedding. Luckily the bride was happy with the end results but I thought they were terrible (I refused any payment). I don't know why but I found the majority of shots just boring and poorly composed. All experience I guess?

[cazzaritch]

Don't be so harsh on yourself, I think you did really well - weddings have to be the hardest photos to do - so much pressure.

If I was the bride, I would have liked to have seen the celebrant in the first picture and I just love the 3rd, its fabulous, there is so much emotion in the shot. Not really being a car person, the 2nd does nothing for me, but I can understand the inclusion of the shot, capturing everything about the day.

Can we see the colour photos if you have them please?

[WitnessOnly]

If bride is happy, photographer can be happy too!

But... if bride is unhappy, photographer must become speedo wearing war correspondent! Or so the bride will say...

Remember, a photographer should always aim to be better every time we go out, which leaves us with the desire to do better than last time.... Ergo you're never going to be fully satisfied with the jobs you've done. Sad but true ;-)

You are definitely being too harsh on yourself. They are beautiful :)
