Hi Dave great work on your videos, facebook page and website! how long on average do you spend on the shots with just the bride & groom like in the above video?

@akithump Hi Dean, thanks for the kind comments. We take our Bride & Grooms for 2 or 3 10 - 15min sessions, we work really quickly and don't keep the B&G from their guests for too long. pre-planning what you are going to do helps save time.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Dave.

Hi Dave, thanks for responding to my last comment. I commented earlier but the whole message didn't go through. It looks like, for the AF points, you were using just the center point most shots. But with just the bride and groom I couldn't tell (ex.: when they were walking toward gazebo&other off-center shots). Could you please explain which you used? Also if you used one shot, or AI servo for the focusing. Thanks again for all your help great help. Keep up the great work!

@TheToby575 Replied below ... lol  Centre focus point only, and one shot only, never servo.

Cheers

Dave.

Hi Dave, thanks so much for responding. Your work is absolutely fantastic...

Your pictures looks so heavenly(literally). You actually make it look like the photos were taken in heaven! No joke! And the music definitely adds to that feeling. I noticed that, for the AF point, it looks like you were using just the center one(like during the recessional when everyone was talking and stuff). But then for like the shots of just the bride and groom, I wasn't quite sure if you used the auto one or just

@TheToby575 Hi, thanks for the kind words. I only ever use the centre focus point, focussing and recomposing when necessary ...

Cheers

Dave.

Hi Dave, brilliant videos. I've always felt bad about using program but I agree with you the composition is the thing and it's reassuring to know I'm not the only one! I perfectly understand all shutter ect but on the day it's about relaxing your subjects as you can see in your videos. Where did you get the light from I have been looking for a light but not found a portable one. Thanks :)
