First Wedding/First bouquet toss.

Well captured but for me the selective colouring doesn't work too well, it would have perhaps been better to have the bouquet in colour and the rest in BW...I find that less is more when it comes to selective colouring.

Also the arrangement of the photos and the blue background are kind of distracting.

I'm not 2 crazy about the blue, bride's new last name was Blue, she loved the blue dresses, and wanted the selective color like this. The picture pile was for a photobook, the groomsmen all had on brown, so the page in the book after this is them catching the garter with there suits left brown, and a brown background. They actually went on blurb and made the photobook with pictures from my zenfolio account.

haha i love how it tells a story. The young girl in front practically diving for it while the first girl in the blue dress gives her this crazy look like "Chill out, I'm not gonna fight you for it!" lol

client gets what the client wants. selective color is not for everyone (including myself) but if the bride is happy then i have nothing to say against it.

I like the series and the story you are telling here. It's funny how none of the "older" brides maids are even making an attempt at catching the bouquet.

As far as the processing, I understand that the client wanted selective color and that you should provide them what they want. To me, the B&W conversions themselves look underexposed and a little flat and the blues looks over-saturated. The dress color in the top right do not match the color in the other images. And in the top left, you have some blue visible through the glass door.

Interesting use of selective color, but it was your lighting or you PP but not all images are the same blue, for me that is a instant turnoff.

Well that one was taken by my 8 year old with an old xti with a nifty 50 on it, he had a blast taking the wedding from an 8 year old's point of view, and he got some really interesting shots.

I had one picture of the entire wedding party I took outside I did the selective color on in light room, just yanking down saturation completely, and raising the dress color up, it looked great. The bride liked it, so I made a preset from it's settings and threw up the entire set with that preset applied, she made the book online at blurb, if I had known she was going to put them one the same page, I would have taken the time to match the blues for sure, and would have made them go around like a clock face telling the story rather than on 2 lines I think.

nice sequence, good piece of work.

+1 for sequence, the blue is a little distracting
