Being the consummate sucker, I keep agreeing to requests to shoot weddings for my friends' kids. I have another gratis shoot next month (4th request in 6 months), and then I'm retiring from weddings for good. Hopefully. We do have fun though and I try and avoid post processing as that's where the time consuming work is. Here's a few from last week:

It's like a contagion.

Is there something in the water? That makes you agree to do this, that is?

That's a different dress in the first of these than in the other two? You've captured the detail nicely, which with white on white can be a challenge.Also, your wb is pretty much nailed here, so that's great too.

I'm nuts. That's what.

Indeed. The lassie's family owns a bridal gown boutique so she had plenty of dresses to choose from on the day!

I actually have a friend who is going to process the files for me as, well, I don't have time. I'm still working on my nephew's wedding files from last September.

So, the reality is that you're actually spruiking for more weddings.

Arrrrgh noooooooo

Nice photos Ozi. It's a horrible responsibility to be the official photographer at a wedding. There are no second opportunities. People do not realise how much work is involved. I hope they fed you well, at least.
