[QUOTE="kevy73, post: 287049, member: 23493"] Good effort Scott - weddings can be nerve racking things... I actually get off on that thrill! It takes a strange breed of person to do so I am sure. Keep practicing. I always try to use natural light where possible. Pose the bride / groom in positions where you can work this to your advantage. Don't be scared by jumping out of the box. The other little thing I have done in the past when starting was use some of the great wedding photographers works as inspiration. Memorise a few poses - you will never replicate it exactly, but you can use their idea / concepts to pose and get a great image. I found this invaluable when I started as it got rid of those moments where you seem to be struggling for idea's... I also ALWAYS use rear flash at reception. It just works for me, and I find it helps stop wiping out all the colours of the room. General settings for receptions are shutter speed 40, F4, Flash on 1/4 power rear sync, ISO 400. I start there and tweak settings as I need. [/QUOTE]
