The official wedding photographer had his wife as the backup wedding photographer, so I guess I was the backup of the backup wedding photographer...

The trouble with 3 wedding photographers was that those two were almost always in my viewfinder - I guess I was in theirs too, but since I'm the bride's godfather I think they figured out that they couldn't yell at me...

This was my 2nd time photographing a wedding, so natually the result isn't good - I'm so used to photograph landscape and it typically doesn't move around!!!

Love to hear your comments as how I can improve...

Thanks!

Sorry that I can't show their faces, as I have not shown them any wedding photos yet - need time to process...

pictures look great! you just remind me that last time 5588 and i did a wedding. it was so challenging...

一般我们管你们这种在婚礼上拿专业相机的使劲拍的客人叫 “Uncle Bob".
有点贬义， 因为有时候正如你说的，总在摄影师的眼前晃，相互干扰。

作为第二或第三摄影师应该是补充第一摄影师拍不到或顾不过来的角度，而不是跟在摄影师后面拍。

有一次我雇了一个不是恨有经验的朋友做我的副手， 他拍了 1000张左右，我最后只选用了 300张，
因为有很多跟我拍的角度重复或我摆的 pose他也在旁边拍。

多说几句体外话，跟主题无关。

照片很漂亮。

You're right - it's very challenging!

Wedding photography at lower level is all about skills gained only from hands-on wedding photography experience, the ability to handle changing lighting, moving subject etc. in split seconds...typically no second chance. it's not about whether you know it or not, but whether you can get it right right there...

At higher level, it's art.

MY other goddaughter is starting her medical school next month, so my 3rd wedding photography chance is at least 5 years away, lol.

Thanks Ed!

谢谢，你讲的摄影师之间的互补很贴切。

可以想象到我们这些爱好者有多碍事，下回注意。

看了题目认为以前拍了一次；看了JOHN的评论原来是第二梯次？

哈哈，是第二次拍婚礼，第一回2009年更加手忙脚乱。不过最得意的是碰巧抓住了新娘不知道为甚么在婚礼最关键时刻神差鬼使地回眸一笑瞬间，right time, right place, and right zoom lens in hand!

这次我是新娘的“御用摄影师”从早上5点半新娘做头发化妆开始，包括随花车拍1个半小时行程，一直拍到舞会7点半结束一口气工作了14个小时，除了换衣服等新娘基本上没有离开我的工作范围（更准确的是我没有离开她的“工作范围“），职业婚纱摄影师们只拍了中间婚礼前后5-6个小时。

Always nice to photo weddings, nice dressed-up people and nice places!

新人在家人和朋友面前能放松下来， 所以 Uncle Bob能拍到一些比较不错的片子。
另外 Uncle Bob因为没有压力，所以也 比较放松，这也是出片子的一个先决条件。

总之 片子不错，希望多贴点。

Uncle Bob这差事好。
john li大师要不要免费的帮手？ 如果什么时候需要一个Uncle Bob的话，在下申请免费做学徒，自带相机盒饭汽水去，还保证不抢主摄影师的角度。哈哈。
