Well the shoot went ahead. I made a heluva lot of first time mistakes. But I also learned a lot from it. Luckily I had a professional videographer on hand to help me out. Apart from the technical issues the bigggest problem I found whilst processing over the weekend was that people don't follow instructions. They had been told time and again by the videographer to look at me and not at him for the group shots. Where were they all looking? Over my left should at the videographer most of the time.
Not a lot I can do about that since I appear to be 'that dude who is just taking snaps'. So fuck it.
Shooting the wedding itself was the hardest part. No flash or LED lighting allowed. Cramped space. Strong backlight from sunshine through a window behind the couple. I ended up shooting on F1.4 at 30mm and processed b&w.
I also fucked up on some group shots shooting far too wide. Oh well. He still has about 200 usable shots so If he complains he can take a hike.
Never again...until the next time.
Here's one of the few I am probably allowed to share (and if not I don't really care). The videographer looks as pissed as me.
