My friend got married last summer and was kind enough to let me tag along with the paid photographer.. I've only been able to do this at one other friends wedding. Out of about 200 pictures... I ended up only liking 2 or 3... The sun was just terrible that day... so the pictures that I took in the sun did not turn out well... But..I thought that these turned out alright. Let me know what you think or what I could do differently

1. Its a nice expression you have captured on the bride but the crop isn't too good and the DOF used means the bridesmaids in the background are quite distracting.Cropping it a little tighter to at least get rid of the half a head of the BM on the left hand side may help a bit.

2. Sorry but it doesn't do anything for me, it looks like the photographer was posing the bride for a shot and you shot it from a different angle but it doesn't really work as it doesn't tell a story apart from what I just said because the bride is looking into blank space.

3. Similar to the 2nd picture it looks like the paid tog was taking a group shot and you stood to their right and took the same picture which doesn't really work because everyone is looking in the wrong direction. the crop is also not very good, arms and dress appearing from the RHS of the picture and people partly cropped out on the left.

Sorry if it feels harsh but its just honest critique.

Its tough trying to shoot around a pro at a wedding and it may seem like the best way to do it is to shoot from a similar angle to them stood to their left or to their right but the best way is to shoot really different to them or right behind them but far away with a long lens.

They all seem a tad soft to me... was this a PP technique? Doesn't really work for me.
