More Sunny Wedding Pics

Overall shot.

Playing with actions.  These girls were so cute!  You can't see it, I am on the wrong side, but they found a bug while waiting for the procession to start.  By the time I ran around to the other side the moment was over.

OOOH I should note, half the pictures were taken by me (D80) the other half were my husband's shots (D90).  I can never tell them apart once they are uploaded and organized chronologically.

I underexposed a bit and then lightened the shadows in PS.  Although I am becoming increasingly tolerant of blown out skies, as long as the subject is exposed right.  Blown wedding dresses are a different story.

Yes it does, maybe a slight push on the magenta, I like unexpected action, nice expression on the bride.
That's a silver tie? if so, push the magenta and erase for the skin, just an idea.
Another which I tried was a gray point setting in raw, however, the skin was green, BUT, the tie was a silver gray, then I played with just the magenta slider for the skin and erased back everything but the skin which looked fine, it's pretty fast, but, I know this needs to be for batch, sorry, I'll try something else.

I like unexpected action or expressions too but sometimes they are caught mid-moment and are unflattering.  So they are hit or miss.
The overall picture is of the mom taking a picture of the bride and her father.  It's funny how we all have a tendency to like different things.
At almost every wedding I try and get pictures of people taking pictures, it's part of the story.  I love getting behind the person with the camera and shooting over their shoulder so it's a picture of a person taking a picture and then in the background is their subject, but they are my subject.  Anyway, everyone seems to like them, like I said, they are part of the story, everyone brings their cameras to weddings and instead of fighting with them for the shot... I shoot them.

You know... I am not as good at the informal pictures as I am the posed ones.  I know why, I hate bothering people when they are talking or whatever... My husband is better at it, but he shoots with a longer lens.  He is more sneaky.

Mike, I can't wait to see what you come away with at this wedding where they want fun pictures.
