Here's the keeper pics from my BIL's wedding this past Saturday. It was a beautiful sunny day in Vermont and everyone had a great time.

Majority of the shots taken with a 20D & 70-200L 2.8 IS.

nice exposures, nice color, nice dress (never seen one with a red train before), composition okay for most but some u cut off heads or feet. over all .... great job but keep working at it so your shots dont look like snapshots.

Overall, I would say they look really nice. For the formals outside by the bushes, I would try dialing down the exposure just a little, then adding fill flash to take the shadows away from the subjects.

I saw most of them, they seem nice the only thing I noticed from the very beginning was that most of the shots were headshots.

hope this helps

Thanks for the comments everyone. I should add that I wasn't there in any "official" capacity as a wedding photographer (not really my thing per se), I just brought the camera along as a guest. I tend to gravitate towards close in candid shots when photographing people, so that is probably why the large amount of headshots. This was also my first time processing with Lightroom, and I'm pretty impressed with it vs. my old workflow of just CS2.

Thanks again,

the shots are good for an unofficial photog. Try to work on getting around and getting different angles. There are always things people get in the habit of and you should try to break that habit before you progress as a wedding photog.

as far as lightroom goes, its a great program but you said before lightroom you just used CS2. Did you not use Bridge? I can't imagine a workflow with just CS2, it would nearly kill me. I use lightroom 98% of the time but there are instances when I use bridge instead, like when I want to photomerge, or when you want to use the photoshop image processor through bridge.

Keep it up and try to take pictures differently than you have been, it'll help you in the long run.

I used Bridge occasionally when doing some batch processing of a series of raw shots, but usually when processing just a shot or two it was straight CS2. I never used Bridge for file management but I do find myself doing such with Lightroom now.

Thanks again for the comments and advice, it's appreciated.
