A few samples from my first wedding...
http://www.chrisharrisonphotography.com/blog/2014/6/5/kim-john-may-30th-2014
After refusing loads of opportunities in the past my sister asked for help planning her wedding to keep costs down etc, so as well as designing and producing the save the dates, invites, seating plan, table names, place names and actually helping to set up (and take down!) everything on the day, I also took the photos.
Thoughts welcome on the photos, loads to improve on and several little things I wish I had thought of on the day, but overall I was pretty pleased (my wife said they were better than ours, which frustrated her a little considering what we paid!) considering I was also heavily involved in the day (i.e. no time for prep shots of either party) and had to be in quite a few photos myself! Absolutely loved the experience, I've never shot people at all before but I surprised myself by how much I enjoyed it.
In terms of kit my head said 24-70 / 70-200, but I love my Sigma 35mm 1.4 so took a brave pill and had that as my main lens, my 80-200 came out briefly during the ceremony and speeches. I could quite happily have shot completely with a 35mm 1.4/85mm 1.4 combo, so noted for next time (of which there is already off of the back of this)
I wanted to try the full thing for real, so delivered a Loxley box with 12 prints, memory sticks with full size files, and 6 discs (3 copies of the 250 'main' images, 3 with the DVD slideshow) as you can see in the last image, all of which was significantly cheaper to put together than I expected, all delivered in 7 days in time for them arriving home for their honeymoon. The main thing, I guess, is that the happy couple were extremely pleased with them as were both sets of parents.
