Some wedding shots with my 40-150mm

A few weeks ago I attended the wedding of the daughter of some very good friends who is like a niece to me. I'm an architect, not a pro photographer, and shoot for personal enjoyment at events like this. They had a slew of pro-photographers there swarming around the couple and, while they were outside the church shooting, I took my E-M1 and 40-150 out and stood back from them and took a few shots. I was very happy with them and they way they came out and will post a few here for you to see. I think that the lens is stunning.

I was about 20ft away down on the sidewalk when I took these I'm posting.

I left my Nikon D810 at home due to bulk and weight and flying to the wedding. Overall I was very happy with the results but my D810 would have preformed better in the dark church.

I shot between the photographers that were buzzing around them. They took a few questioning glances at me but, this beautiful young woman is like a niece to me and I figured that I could stand in the street and take photos as long as I didn't get in their way.

Certainly a nice couple and, I think, wonderful performance from me E-M1 and 40-150mm

Nice subdued lighting, nice tones, and nice use of B&W in the signature shot.

AND some very nice expressions and compositions to make pleasant memories for the couple and their families and friends.

Hi

Yes, I agree, well done. I like them also. Esp the first.

Thank you. I plan to give them a selection of the best ones I took.

Thanks Rick,

I really like the lens and have had some nice results with it. I am just not fond of the big, bulky retractable hood. I would much rather have a more typical, slim, reversible one.

They are really nice photos. Let use know what the happy couple think of them. Especially compared to what they, or their parents, paid for.

That's nice Anders, you can see they are looking at and smiling at you!
