A few Fuji X-Pro1 Wedding Photography Images
A week or so back I shot another wedding predominately with my Fuji X-Pro1 system. I’ve just got to the editing stage and wanted to pop up a couple of images that struck me and explain why;
The first image was shot with the 60mm macro lens. I love this lens, and in fact, I think it produces the best optically out of the three prime lenses available. It’s pin sharp and in macro mode it produces incredibly clear close up images. I’ve been taking it along to weddings with me for a while and have used it occasionally but rarely in anger. Focusing of this lens is relatively slow (which makes sense considering it’s a macro lens) but I wanted to use it in this situation as I was quite a distance away from the bride during the preparation photography. I’ve shot this in JPG and and decreased the exposure compensation to remove most of the clutter in the background (there was bright streaming light on the brides face from a window at the front). I shot a whole sequence of wedding preparation photographs using the lens and I remain immensely satisfied with this lens.

This second image was shot on the 35mm lens. Again, I’ve used the exposure compensation to a certain extent to affect the structure of the image. I’ve cleaned up a few more elements in the background to make the image stronger still (I think). I’ll be sharing a lot more images from this wedding when I blog it later in the month but in the meantime the Fuji X-Pro1 remains a reliable workhorse for me as a wedding photographer. I’ve yet to see the X-E1 but the reviews so far are also very impressive.

love how dark they are, right up my street
Hi Kevin Compelling images… Love what you have wrought from the X-Pro1 so far. X-E1 could be an interesting backup – particularly as the image quality is supposed to be v.similar? Just wondering whether you favour EVF over OVF? My reading of it is that this is the major difference betweeen the two models. Also better EVF (supposedly) in the X-E1, though no DoF preview. Would this matter to your style? Thanks for sharing your work/thoughts!
Hi Kevin – thanks for the comments. I use the OVF a lot as its a much quicker way to work for me. I’ve yet to see an XE1 so can’t make any comparisons tbh.
Hi Kevin, I just wanted to say a big thank you for Monday. It was great to meet you, I had a great day and learnt a huge amount. I thought you may also like to know that following your advice and all of the info you’ve posted over recent months I have ordered my Fuji X-pro1 !! I just can’t wait to get going with it.
Hello Kevin
Im getting quite interested in the x-pro myself, ill be interested to learn more of your experiences. Do you use it alongside your regular SLR all through the day ? Or are you mainly using it when you have a bit more time to compose? How responsive is it ?
Thanks
Dave
Hi David,
I use it along with a DSLR but depending on the nature of the day depends on how much of the day is shot on it. It’s a great camera.
Hi Kevin, found your reviews of the X-Pro-1 massively helpful – if you had to choose just one lens for wedding reportage, would you go for the 35 or the 60mm?
Hi Andy. Many thanks for the kind words.
If I *had* to chose one lens for wedding photography it would be the 35mm as its more versatile. If it was purely for portraits I’d opt for the 60mm.
Cheers
Kevin
