Forum member Jay (Hyena) invited me for his wedding as a 2nd shooter for his grand day of life. Yet to be surprised that my name was actually on the guests list! A great thanks to Jay to give me an opportunity to get on this experience, and took the 'risk' of letting me do the whole day of the wedding... :)


Well, I hope you're not disappointed Jay!!

A few of them from the day, I had not much of chance to call for eye contact shots as the main photographer is working there for the posed shot, so I was told to stay behind and grab the candid like shots, from a different perspective.

Yip - Good work son! I'm sure Jay wouldn't be dissapointed.
The first image i'd crop just a bit more from the top.
The 2nd image - well executed and one for the album I'd think! :)
The 3rd image - beautiful! Nice DOF and bokeh - which lens?

Thanks all :D I'm happy with the results too :)

Geoff, 1st and 3rd are taken with a borrowed 70-200VR (sure it is beautiful) and 2nd is taken with 85/1.4 :)

I'll see if I post few more after I get home today :P

Thanks Geoff!

From that one, I'm lusting towards a new setup with the D200 + midrange f/2.8 zoom... I need to extinguish the evil inside me... :evil:

I think they're all outstanding, but I'm biased :wink:
From the previews I saw on the camera there's a heap more decent images to come :D

I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Yip for his outstanding efforts on the night. I certainly picked the right man for the job and I highly recommend him to anyone else who needs photos on their big day.
It's hard to just stand there and pose when you're used to being behind the camera, and I wanted to several times throughout the day to try a few different shots but obviously I couldn't. Luckily I had more than one skilled photog there!

So again, cheers Yip!
