Last Night's Wedding-My First

[mytwogirls]

Okay, for all of you who offered advice, here's one from last night. Please be kind!

It was very very dark and I wasn't hired to start shooting until after sunset. The resort was also very busy last night and it was hard to find good locations with any light at all that there weren't a bunch of people around.

Everyone who said weddings are hectic-they were right! I'm exhausted. If I ever do another one I'm definitely wearing more comfortable shoes!

nice photo. Next time I'd suggest having her turn her head a bit more toward you. Body poition is fine, but she's looking at you from the side of her eyes. Looks a bit uncomfy.

i agree with monter...i do like the pose and location. nice composition :)

Thanks.

She was very shy with the camera and we were in such a hurry. I'm not crazy about her looking like she's looking to the side either. I definitely should have caught that.

I am also starting to try and have as little background clutter near the faces of my subjects. Maybe to have her stand further away from the right hand side wall - so that there is only night sky behind her face? I use flash a lot, and this is one way for me to avoid seeing the shadow on the wall.

You got the skin tone, dress details etc spot one it seems to me. The eyes issue is not fatal, lol.

Nice shoot! But the expression of the bride seems tense. Personally i will suggest for her to look down on to her right shoulder. IMO.
