I was graced with a wonderful overcast fall wedding on Friday, and came away with some shots that I am really happy with. The bridal party was small and a lot of fun, and most importantly were open to taking a little extra time for some fun photos. Overall, I am pretty happy for my second wedding, so I thought that I would share a few of my favorites. I would love to hear what everyone thinks.

great set!!! 3,4, and 5 really shine! I wish my second wedding looked like these!
Only one little nit pick.... #6 just needs a tiny bump in contrast... the conversion is just a smidge flat.
I did what I could do with a file that you listed, but seeing that it's web based, I was a little restricted, and everything that I did was amplified. I didn't even sharpen my fix, but it still looks that way.
Anyways, you get the idea ;)

Great shots!! The guy in #3 on the right looks like he has to go to the bathroom, haha.

Thanks all for the responses. It was a beautiful wedding, making for easy photography.

Familyjules, Thanks for the correction, it was a bit flat wasn't it? I always have a hard time with digital b&w conversions...I can never seem to get the balance quite right between being too contrasy and too flat. Black and white was much easier for me in the darkroom...haha.

bdicustoms, that guy was super nice, but was doing something goofy in nearly all of the pictures that I took, I don't think it was on purpose, I just think he isn't the most photogenic person...or needed a little bit more posing instruction than I managed to give him.

That whole series was done with the 85 1.8 and a 5D Classic.

Awesome work - but why include the first one? Doesn't seem to fit with the rest to me, definitely not up to par with the others in terms of composition either. Just my .02

I think the only reason that I really like that shot is the look that she is giving her new groom. Technically, photography wise, it may not fit, but I guess I feel it shows a lot of emotion.

i love the shots where they're throwing leaves. very nice.

i really love the last one too, the noise and sepia (?) really adds to it
