[theapprentic3]

Here is a sample of a wedding i did as a self test, they were not going to hire a photographer so i volunteered, told them that i needed to build a portfolio and that i would cover the event, no pay, but will take donations i said. I hope they are happy, and KUDOS to all of you wedding photographers.

on the outdoor shots they look too dark, I would suggest adding fill flash and/or checking exposure. You color balance seems off a smidge (could be my monitor).
Some of the indoor shots are too blurry to be considered showing. You did and ok job but I would really suggest alot more practice before you go "pro"

Overall, I would say #6 is your best. I enjoyed #8, but wish it was more in focus. Good job for your first time.

That can all be sorted with PP.

The first one kind of looks cool.....there are many ways I would have changed it. First I would of used the stairs of the house with the kids--- told the others to move out of the frame......there are tons of ways to use kids and the bride------ this group looks very photogenic---
As you now know there is tons to learn about wedding photography.

Thank you for your comments, your suggestions are very important and hopefully will allow me to become a better photog.

I too like No. 6 the best, just not a fan of the tilted framing style you used. Your colors do look way flat. I am guessing you did not do much in Photoshop to these. Shoot in RAW, use Digital Photo Professional and you will be amazed at the results. If you enjoy it, keep at it.
