Just a few shots of my first bridal shoot with a p&S camera, I have a Rebel xsi on it's way! C&C welcome!http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/pp292/BayouGhost/100_6832.jpghttp://i421.photobucket.com/albums/pp292/BayouGhost/100_6774.jpg

Number 1 is fine.
Number two is in dire need of a fill flash. Good pose, but she's in shadow.
Number three's selective color doesn't work with this one.

Good attempts. The first one is fine. For the second one, you have to remember when shooting a portrait, what do you want to focus on. That one the veil is the brightest part and that's not what you want. So, in these instances, always use the flash. Selective color is hard to work with for B&G shots. I've rarely seen it used successfully in this way, due to the wedding dress and veil are already white. So all you are not taking into account is the background and that is actually green and lovely.

I agree with the above posts.........composition of shots is fine.

Ok first shot-

1-first look is ok but upon further inspection it is poorly exposed.
2-take the brides hand and place it on the railing and slightly lower than the middle of the brides body, posed elegantly of course.
3-tilt the head toward the right hand and take additional shots of bride looking at camera.

2nd shot

1- exposure
2-try to not pose and shoot with the bride flat and not turned at least slightly one way or the other.
3-hands not posed and almost cut off

3rd shot

1. exposure
2. again why is she not looking at camera (you may have on other shots)
3.hands look very awkward when not thought of in the shot. have bride forearms on railing and one hand on top of the other (ring hand on top).

Though I disagree with 'the composition is fine' (they do need a lot of work) comments in earlier posts I do not know where you are in your photography experience. Keep working on your skills and don't worry about copying someone else's styles and shots. Look at their lighting techniques and try to duplicate them. You will in the end develop your own style and someone will end up copying you!

Sorry to be short in my comments but a better way is for you to be second fiddle for a while and hone some skills first.
