Crop Size

[jchooper12]

I was wondering what the wedding photographers usually shoot for during weddings. Do you frame your shots for an 8X10 crop, 5X7, 11X14, etc?

I always leave room for cropping on the formals, since 90% of them will either be 5x7 or 8x10. Other shots I leave as shot, however 90% of my images I leave room for cropping when I shoot them. Huy, one of the best wedding photographers in the world, located in your neck of the woods in Dallas, cropps EVERY image. He shoots with a 16x35L mounted on a 1Ds Mark II then crops the image to appear it was a zoom shot. The guy just has an amazing ability to see beyond what the camera sees and shoots knowing where and how he plans to crop the shot for the final product. One day I would like to get to that point :)

Is a 16 x 35 a light box?

Huy shoots almost only with a 16-35L f/2.8 lens then cropps in.
