My best friend's daughter got married in Chile - so of course, I couldnt
do the shoot...
the photog was medicore and didn't apparently edit any of the photos...
Katina threw them
all up on a page in Picassa... they were soo awful , katina was in tears.
In general, any more than 100 or maybe 150 seems outrageous to me.... if
your name is on them
on the web why would any photog allow it? Once you take care of
getting at least one shot
of every one there, all the major events (down the aisle, cut the cake,
throw the bouquet, loving
kisses, the appropriate dancing couples... all these in the case of
Western style weddings) what else do you need? There certainly seems
to be a lot more quanity than quality showing up...
When I shot weddings with film -- I'd tear up half of them before I even
showed them to
the perps.... though I'd let some I thought were not so good through if
it was the only
shot I got of so and so's grandma or kid,etc...
1,000 shots of a wedding? tedious for any viewer no matter how much the
couple was loved.

Dave,
1,000-1,200 photos is a lot. How many do you post?
Every one of them Bob. I have learned from experience that just
because I don't like a shot, does not mean the rider won't and buy it,
so i post everything except the odd ones that are missed focused or
i'm really early or late on, but thats only 2-3 per weekend.
I went to a wedding and shot some pix.
I showed some of them here -

Now my daughter has a link to the photographer's web site.
They have posted 1,000+ photos from the wedding.
42 pages of 25 thumbnails each, linking to larger photos.
This is positively overwhelming. You've gotta show less!
What's the practice out there these days?
Not sure Bob, i don't know any wedding people to see. The last weeding
we attended, August 2007, they took about 1000 or so photos. Shot from
1 pm or so till the cake cutting at midnight.
From what Robert tells me, they just gave them all to them on a CD,
and they picked some to print. The photographer was some friend of the
family , in some way, and his price was good, under a grand, had an
assistant who shot as well as moved the off camera flashes around. I
have not seen any of the photos to critique.
Oh, and he shot Nikon, so he must be a pro.;-)
