Advertisement Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Hi stunsworth, Take a look here Wedding..which film?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
earleygallery Posted July 25, 2008 Share #22 Posted July 25, 2008 Hi, I've shot a number of weddings and events, on MF I prefer to use film in the range 100-200. Ultimately it's quality that matters and the lower ISO film still gives better quality. I'd stick to the 160nc. As you're not the main photographer I would suggest using your 'freedom' to concentrate on candid shots which will make a nice addition to the (probably) more formal official shots. Especially look for opportunities when the official photographer isn't around or isn't shooting. I was at a friends wedding recently and during the ceremony the official photographer was stuck in an awkward position behind the altar. The parents gave readings and I was able to get shots of them from my seat which the father of the bride said were his favourite photographs of the whole day!

StS Posted July 25, 2008 Share #23 Posted July 25, 2008 I made a similar experience - in my university time, I was asked sometimes to take the wedding photos. Expectations on wedding photos are pretty conventional, even at unconventional student's weddings. It is pretty hard work to make sure every expected situation is taken. This is why I'm glad, if a professional is covering the 'official' images. He will probably have much more experience anyhow to make sure the 'right' images are taken. The only new advice I could offer is to have the film images scanned - I remember spending a weekend after a wedding sorting out the orders to negatives and the next weekend sorting out the images to persons. With digital images, I simply spread some CDs/DVDs. Isn't progress a nice thing? Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fursan Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share #25 Posted July 25, 2008 Steve, thanks for the tip. I shall have a M7 with me.
