Am I the wedding photographer?

[Kayaker72]

The wedding was Saturday and was a lot of fun. There were several other "friends with good cameras." I saw my first Gary Fong's and Nikon 7000 in action. So I let them set up the groups and I focused on candids, and the group shots once they were done.


As for the photos, the wedding and reception were in an old carriage house. So I had nice ceilings to bounce light off of, but I also used the the pop up card on the 580 EXII to help fill in the shadows. Also, suggested above, I set the white balance to cloudy and stayed with it, shot mostly in manual with E-TTL adjusting the flash.


While I don't have any shot that is amazing as some I've seen in this forum, I am very happy with the results. Almost all of my shots are usable and I like the lighting. Two quick examples:


The bride and her mother and sisters. 7D, EFS 15-85 @ 26 mm, 1/40, f/4.5, ISO 200, flash





Bride's son, brother-in-law and two sisters: 7D, 15-85 @ 42mm, 1/60, f5, ISO 200, flash





Thanks again for all your help.
