Well today is going to be quite nerve wracking.. It’s one of our friends wedding today, and somehow, I’ve managed to become the main photographer. It’s obviously my extensive knowledge of reading books on wedding photography that landed me the part!!

I believe I’m all planned, that is except the weather, although I have found some references to the art of ‘cloud busting’ in some old magic books, that is, the art of being able to disperse clouds at will.. well anything is worth a try!!

I have three lenses with me, the Standard 350D 18-55mm, a borrowed 24-85mm and my 75-300mm, the venue at The New Mill in Eversley looks great, and I have a shoot list ready for rain, or slightly less rain.. I’m working on the bride and groom formals first, then large groups, removing people to take it back down the the bride and groom again. I’m thinking this will ease the loosing auntie Flo in the toilets because she got bored waiting syndrome I’ve always seen at weddings..

My problem is whether to go semi automatic, or manual.. I’m airing on the side of Aperture override, hovering around f11 for the formals and then semi automatic for the non formal shots.. Time will tell I guess!!!

There’s nothing like pressure!!!
