Bit much flash but nice photos :)

Thanks Tim. It was an evening wedding, so no natural light. I was scared stiff of shadows behind the subjects, so the flash was bounced all over the place! A bit unpredictable but more preferable to shadows. The posed shots could have had more light on their faces, but I`m on a learning curve that`s almost verticle!

I find it a bit distracting that you cut the groom's head in the limousine with your montage. I also don't like the crop of the family portrait. It is too tight and the faces of the B&G are too high in the frame. Also, posing techniques may be used to improve the overall feel of the image.
Otherwise, the shots look good to me! ;)

This montage was only for showing here! It is also the brides dad, and he was looking the other way! But I get your point.
Posing is the thing I find the hardest thing to learn. You can read as many books as you like but when you are out there with a million people running around you it all goes to pot!
Thanks for your input- I aim to improve and if that means getting shot down in flames now and then, well so be it

I know posing is not easy! I have a lot to learn myself! One tip (others with more experience may add more tips here ;)), try not having anyone facing square at the camera. An angle is always more flattering :)
