Opinions needed!(ad content)

So this is an ad I want to pass around at local businesses and was wondering what other photog's thought. I want everybody to be honest! This image is formatted to be an exact 4x6.

Also, can anybody think of a way for potential customers to take the information with them. Kinda like a "Take one" with my site address and phone number. Thanks in advance!

Seriously?

Well I'm no professional, but I know what I like and as a consumer that stands for something.

Honestly I love the middle photo.... but the two outer photos in my mind don't stand out. There's something about the perspective I don't like in the bride photo and the casual couple shot looks as though anyone could have taken it. I guess though your choice of photo/photo's would depend on what sort of market your after.

You could dress up your type .. it looks plain.

That's MHO on what I see as potential improvements related to your ad. Hope that helps.

the photo on the left seems to have been shrunk horizontally. the photo on the right doesn't do it for me (it's a great casual shot, don't get me wrong, just doesn't seem right for this context).

this is more nitpicking: i'd drop the "email:", "phone:" and "web:" labels. everyone knows what they are...

Any other opinions?

First one: Left image is squashed, bit dark. Middle image is cool. Right image is underexposed in places (faces) and they're too warm. "Please visit my website for pricing" is redundant.

Second one: tilted middle image doesn't work (this is why I stopped tilting my camera at weddings - most of my images go into albums). Bright on right looks bit dark, esp her dress.

Other than that I like it.

Yea, I'll have to agree with Tim and others. That one photo with what appears to be a screwed up aspect ratio kills the whole deal. It's a distraction that keeps pulling the eye to it.

Agree with Tim 100%

Two other things - are you just going to hand these out at every business or going to have a target audience. Also, assuming you do but make sure you have a model release for everyone to use the images commercially.
