[Eliza_Day]

So I have done a lot of bridals & I've been a 2nd shooter once for another photographer. But this is our first official wedding we've done.

Hi, Eliza! Your work looks fantastic. I love the ring shots, but all are wonderful. I'm not too sure about the selective color one, but if the B&G love it, who am I? The last one is just wonderful. Congrats!

[Eliza_Day]

Thanks for your comments Suzy :) As always much appreciated!

Selective colouring is quite the 'in' thing for couples here by us. & like you say, if they like it/want it, we deliver :)

[henry_b]

beautiful work! i like them alot!
last shot is just amazing.

[lildexmom]

I think they are all very nice but #3 is my favorite ~ I would love to see something with the bride and groom both looking into the camera.

[harroz]

stunning work Eliza!

[lil_miss]

Gorgeous! :) Well done for your first wedding..

[capt joe]

GREAT WORK FOR THE FIRST GIG...LIKE TO SEE YOUR WORK 5 YEARS FRON NOW!!!

[_Jo_]

Awesome! Fantastic images for your first. I love 6.

[Bucster]

Great images, I'm inspired

[Bartek]

Nice work! LOVE the last one. :)
I would have loved to see more photos of the couple themselves, and personally...the selective color is not my cup-o-tea.

[babuszka]

Great shots. The shoes are awesome!
LoL@ people not liking the selective coloring yet I'm sure the couple *loved* it :-P

[Tim D.]

Great job on your first wedding! Number 7 is my favorite.

[Maureen Souza]

Great work!!!! I love your creativity!

[OlorinZA]

Thanks for the comments. :)

[Patsa]

Beautiful photos “I Love”… 1,2,7. These are Fantastic!!

[g-money]

Great work Eliza. I love them all with 5 being my least favorite but 7 is outstanding. Love it.

You really set the bar high for other shooting their first wedding. They are all fantastic and the 5th shot is my favorite!!!

[TRM]

i like the ring shot on the door...nice metaphor!

[Kzaroshen]

Great collection you've shown us. I particularly like #7, only thing that could have made it better (for me) is if the faces weren't blown out as much. The lighting really gives that photo the atmosphere I love, but I feel it's a little too much (if it could have been helped). :D Good work and good luck on getting more paid functions!

[Ralph Merlino]

You did a great job on your first wedding. Beautiful
pictures.

[OlorinZA]

Thanks for the comments! :D

[sinitry23]

Good job!

[tommyqh]

wow, these are great, not sure if anyone can critique any of these.

[Peacefield]

I would tell you that your photography is spectacular, but at least for my tastes (and I frequently stand alone on matters of taste), I'm not crazy about the processing. I do love the last shot, though it looks like it may be a bit askew.

[purd002]

good job, 7 stands out for me . . .

[photogirl07]

Fabulous! I really like #2, so creative. Thank you for sharing!

[Eliza_Day]

PP not everyone's cup of tea :) But we're looking forward to our next one!

Thank you all for your comments!

[collierportraits]

Wow. Simply wow. And yes, I'm amazed that your photos are this good from your first ever wedding. So good job. Now, on to the nitpicking! ;)

#1 Nice shot. Clone out the picture on the wall behind the shoes should simplify the background and make a nicer image. (It's distracting)
#2 Not crazy about this one. There's so much detail in the door handles that it was hard to figure out there were rings there. Maybe a simpler thing to hang em on? Just looks like a photo of door handles. I was wondering why you shot this... :D
#3 is nice. And nicely done. Maybe not the most flattering of her, but a good shot! Nice conversion as well
#4 Um. Well. You know how most of us feel about SC. Not a fan. Cheesy, IMO But if they do? ok...
#5 Beautiful shot. Awesome BG. Flattering to the bride. Great image! (Portfolio)
#6 Nicely done.
#7 Competition print! Love it! Gorgeous, simple, Just great IMO.

Wonderful job overall! Hope some of these comments help! ;)

[Bula Matali]

Lovely website. I like the wedding photos
Well done !

[1shot4u]

I agree. love all the shots. I think #1 is among the top five shots I've ever seen on this site..IMO. Thanks for sharing.

[scottf2]

Great job on the detail shots. I would have liked a couple of pictures with more focus on the couple together - showing them interacting, etc. The shot by the door is lovely. Fantastic job for a first time!

[mandercruso]

great job for you first wedding. I'm not too sure about the selective color shot either, but maybe it looks better full resolution? I have been 2nd shooting at a few weddings and will be doing my first backyard wedding in April. I hope my shots come out half as good as yours did ;)

[OlorinZA]

Once again, thanks to everyone for the crit and comments.

#2 Not crazy about this one. There's so much detail in the door handles that it was hard to figure out there were rings there. Maybe a simpler thing to hang em on? Just looks like a photo of door handles. I was wondering why you shot this... :D

I had roughly 20 minutes to shoot the rings, and I was seriously without options in the hotel room. The nature of the rings (four pieces in total -- unstable) precluded any book/Bible shots, something that I had planned for previously. So I was in a flat spin and ended up with only the one initially posted, and these below, for the client:

Hi, Eliza! Your work looks fantastic. I love the ring shots, but all are wonderful. The last one is just wonderful. Congrats!

beautiful work! i like them alot!
last shot is just amazing.

That about sums up my comments.

Well done. :)

[bnlearle]

Very impressive for your first (or really at all, for that matter) ;)

I like the flowers OOF in #5. Gives a feel of confetti thrown like at weddings. A real whispy feel to the photo.

I also like the floor in #7. Timeless shot there.

[collierportraits]

Ok, I take back what I said about the ring shot. It was definitely the best. You may be able to simply blur some of the handles in PS if you want to.

Great job! :D

[OlorinZA]

Thanks. :)

[Apexer]

I really like the rings on the door....lots of inferred meaning - at least to me.
