anyone?

[Ampersand.]

i love the second to last one!!

[bastozzz]

Second to the last shot is my fave. How did you PP that shot? Also, would you care to post the original?

[supernova74]

Yep second to last one... As Bastozzz said, how did you pp it ?

[Mossman6]

The second to last one looks nice. I'm not digging the pp on the others, sorry.

Overall the toning is all over the place and there is no consistency. It's like you are trying everything in the book all on one wedding. Try out one or two types of styles per wedding and eventually you'll find something you like and develop a style that matches you. But going all over the place won't help you nail down what you really like.

Also, it would make it more welcoming to comments if you numbered your photos. :)

1. Not too keen on it. Bride is dead centre, father is partly cut off, and the head on the left really isn't contributing anything to the photo. This looks like a guest shot from the pew. Were you a guest or the main photographer?

2. Not bad, looks like they're happy, which is important. The angle is low but I'm assuming that's because they're on a raised platform.

3. The photo is too centralized. If you want to centre something then you need something else in the background to balance it out. There is nothing else of interest aside from the couple. The angle is also uninteresting. Maybe try getting higher, getting lower, getting closer, or going further and making it environmental. But a dip shot at that angle and distance is pretty much exactly how a guest with a point and shoot would do it.

4. Looks like a detail shot of their clothes. The crop isn't working for me, nor is the composition and posing. It really doesn't look like a detail type of shot. It looks like a candid picture of them standing around waiting around, but shot with their heads chopped off. Make it obvious what you are trying to feature, because looking at the photo, I really don't know what it is you want me to look at. In addition, the tones are really strange. The dress looks like a grey instead of white.

5. is not a bad shot of their rings. Getting both their rings and hands is always tricky because it's both left hands. The rings are the feature though, and they're right in the centre. I would have moved the rings to the right of the frame, cutting out the arms, and showing more of the out of focus bouquet.

6. is interesting. The darkness is interesting. Was this a posed shot or was this just taken on the dancefloor or something? You gotta be mindful of the posing though. We cannot really see either of their faces so there's gotta be something else that's really strong to carry the image, and I don't see what it is. Also, when she rests her arm across his shoulder, it enlarges the arm and makes it look bigger than it should be. Have her lift her hands higher on his head so her elbows are bearing the weight.

7. I have to say, I'm not a fan of selective colour. As for the shot itself, the bride's expression doesn't look ideal... almost like you caught her just as she was starting to blink. Also be careful when shooting with your camera at that angle. It tends to elongate the edges which is making his forehead look huge. You might need to step back a bit and leave a bit more room around the subjects.

Thanks for sharing!

I'm curious to see the photos.

The 6th shot is my favorite. Overall, I think the shots lack variety. Your shots overall are sharp. I agree about the over-usage of processing.

I really like 3, and 5 though it is a little dark. But nice!~

[AmberTillman]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the 2nd to last one too! Beautiful! You captured some nice moments!
