They're well done. I especially like the ring shots. HOWEVER, #3 is a no for me... with the composition that you have and the expression on the faces...let's just say that some things could be easily misconstrued.

lol...i just noticed that!!

[howzitboy]

love those ring shots!! nice colors and composition. for some reason, shots 2 and 3 remind me of those photobooth shots...

[black84z28]

so would a few of you say i am sorta on the right track here as capturing the right mood and idea?

i know one thing is i could use a better all around lens, the ones i have will do but its like more versatility

What I love about your shots is that you have a style. I think it works. I love what you do with light.

fix her lower arm in shot 4, i don't mind it but the bride will prolly obsess over it...

easy fix ...thanks for the heads up!

No offense, but I would not include #1 in the album (G looks like he's stooping, not enthusiastic... and B leaning too much forward)

I like the 2nd ring shot than the first (better composition IMO). Maybe you can use 2 candles with different heights to improve the first ring shot (and place them at different distance from your focusing plane to add depth ...) Also try rearranging the bouttonnier so that it would unite instead of separating the other objects.

I really like the lighting on the last picture, but it can be improved if the green bottle is put up behind the card, and move the candle on the left closer to the rest of the objects.

Cheers,

Definitly on the right track. The things to be fixed have been pointed out (the lower arm, getting rid of the O shot)...but good effort for sure.
