Default Saturdays wedding

I have a few to share from yesterday. It was a bitter sweet day as the grooms mother passed away 1 week earlier, she had breast cancer and they thought she would make it to the wedding but didn't. Needless to say towards the end he was very emotional.

Critiques always welcomed.

1.

2.


4. These are the daughters of the groom.


5.

6.

7. Here is one of the daughters ...we were having some fun.




8.
3.

great piece of work.
#6 the back of a hand is considered masculine. turn the hand to show more of the side and break the wrist a little.
#5 perfect, anyone critiques it, ask them what their day job is.
#8 have money, flaunt it. you set this one up exact as well.

well done.

Technically I like the images, but I prefer a little more saturation and "pop" to make them stand out against their backgrounds, they kinda just blend in....maybe a nice vignette would work too. #1 has the best pop, but it appears that they are standing in a hallway, so not the best surroundings. The sky seems blown out in some of them but it doesn't look like you had too much "blue" to work with....I hate it when the sky doesn't cooperate.

As far as the posing or moments you captured, they look a little on the "snapshotish" side in my humble opinion. I'm no seasoned pro, it's just my $.02.

Love the work.

Knowing the area as I do, I think moving a little to the left for image 3 so you could get the old Cape Henry Light in the frame as well might have really made that shot. I think both of those lights together are such a wonderful combination.

Hi Chris, I do have a few more with both. Kenny thank you for your critique as well as catlover, I am trying to break out of my standard photography poses and try different things.

Even better! But then again, I'm a sucker for photos of both lighthouses.

Love #2. Great lighting, composition, etc. Don't like #8. Is this a Mercedes ad? Hopefully the car is not a C-Class. The Lighthouse pic is also nice! Too bad the groom's hair isn't cooperating.

I don't even know one car from another. What is a C class. You can't tell by the photos other than the hair but it was VERY WINDY outside.
