Rachael and Andrew

This was my second wedding and I faced the biggest nightmare or newbie photographers.....poor lighting!! I learned a lot from this wedding, mainly that the pop up flash is totally useless. The direct flash from this little contraption is too strong for a fill flash and just washes out the whole shot. The other thing I realised I needed was a longer lens. So after this wedding I bought an SB600 and a 55-200mm lens! I wasn't very happy with my efforts but nevermind - without this I wouldn't have been able to improve.

Rachael and Andrew are a great couple with a very warm and friendly family. Both Mandy and myself were made to feel like we were part of the family and I really appreciated that.

This is a shot of their first dance and yes it is a little wonky LOL!

This wedding had a very big 'pink' theme and the flowers where beautiful and very pretty
