Well done! Looks like it was a good time.

AWESOME set, Bry! I can't pick a fav. I'd be willing to bet that the last shot is one your client's favs

I think these are well done.

The left photo of #2 looks odd to me with the heads chopped off like that.
Hands are chopped off on both photos on #6. Not a big deal, more like nitpick.

Good news is that those are just the formals -- and I never care much about those :P

Classic.

The last one is amazing

Thank you, it is one of mine for sure. This type of shot is becoming my signature image.

Interesting point. The head cropping was done intentionally, but I wish I would have got all of him crouching in the photo. Nice call on #6 - shooting with the 5d with no light really hurt my focus, and I guess I just didnt recompose.

Here's some 2 cents -- nothing more

The composition for all the bridal party photos is a bit lacking for me.

#1 left has the girl on the right awkwardly close to the edge of the frame and the girl on the left with too much space. And since they are showing their legs as part of the photo, it's doesn't flow well to have their legs cropped out.

#1 right has too much space up top and on the left and not enough down below and on the right for me.

#2 left doesn't look like the type of image that can get away with the head cropping of the groomsmen. Not for me, at least

#2 right again has too much space up top and the legs cropped off (I think because of the extra space) don't work for me.

Good news is that those are just the formals -- and I never care much about those :P

The rest are great! That iPad facetime photo is an Apple commercial waiting to happen! And the lighting for the last image is beautiful.

Clean and classy

#1 - good point. I guess I was trying not to get too wide and get the mess on the sides of the image, but if I crouched down and shot a little wider I could have done this fine.
#2 - Again, I thought it worked, but I will keep trying new things. As for the second image, I see where you are coming from here too.

Thank you so much for the time and the compliment - clean and classy is what I am trying to achieve.

Thank you. It is one of my favorite images to date!

I like the last photo....

Killed it on the last one!

omg it's been my dream to shoot a backyard wedding!! {fingers crossed}...

Loving the detail shots! And the last photo is absolutely breathtaking, Bryan!

Great set, the flash work on the last two is brilliant, I'm sure they're delighted.

The iPad picture is just like one of those soppy Apple adverts... pitch the idea to them
Edit: I was too late for that suggestion^

Great shots!

love them all!!!

Q: what do you set you rear flash on for a shot like #7?

Overall, great set. Watch the cropping through the feet on the first few. I like the first shot of the groom kneeling with the groomsmen behind, but the cropping kills it for me--I'd love to see that one backed out a bit to include the feet and groomsmen's heads.

The last few are really nice. I always wanted to try the one light behind the subject shot!

Love love LOVE the last three (not that the others are bad, lol!)! I have got to get up the nerve to try that rear flash stuff, it's brilliant!
