What do you think of this?

Can't seem to put my finger on it... at first glance it looks alright... then I notice the wonky hedge and backdrop... but the bride and groom are standing straight... looks like this was shot on an incline... and giving the effect of a wonky horizon... sorry, I'm not much help...

At first glance look OK. Then I notice the background and sky. The mist looks fake, image is dark and there is lots of shadow in the faces of the subjects. You could have leveled of the image or gone more on an angle to lead to the brides face. All and all this image does nothing for me.

This one is kind of hard to pinpoint. Its a nice shot, but it looks a bit "straight on". As Blinn said above, the composition should be emphasized more towards one of them, most likely the bride though. A few little things and this could be a wonderful shot. The focus also looks a bit soft. Remember to keep checking the histogram for exposure, as it could be bumped up just a bit.

I like the pic..At least I like the place...But need a tripod...

It looks like the picture was taken through glass - the mist looks a bit shiney. Not fond of the horizon at all.

Dress nicely done. The dress and hair were the reasons I always took a woman assistant to weddings - we guys have NO clue.

Fantastic feeling in the lighting and backround.

Two posing suggestes to up your average ok maybe three ...

Seperate the feet ... have them stand further apart. That will make them slightly lean towards eachother which will introduce romantic action toward the other.

Don't crush the flowers. Put them on the ground with the birdes hands are arms around the groom. Put them in the Brides hands around the groom. Keep them in the brides hand as she drops the hand toward her side ... anything. You have a symbol seperating the bride and groom at this romantic moment.

And now the clincher ... an automatic sale. Bring the grooms camera hand and move it to the chin of the bride to romantically bring to two together for the tender kiss (remember the feet are seperated so this can now be done).

Bottom line here ... we all know its true. Women dream of their wedding day and men do not. So on this "one of the most important days in my life" the birde gets faced with a groom with different expectataions for the day - does "lets get to the reception" sound familiar? Any time you can involve the groom inviting the birde to a romantic interlude during the wedding day will ensure the photos success and make you a hero. A groom standing stright up sends out a body language of ... well you get the idea. You will have an increase in your wedding averages if you just get groom moving (leaning or what ever) towards the bride. Our images record body language too!

Ok ... getting off soap box.

Nice pose, just mix some emotion and get a money market account, you will need it.
