this was my first wedding, I didnt have a chance to do a lot of artsy shots. The couple wasnt very interested in taking photos and just left me about 20 minutes to do formals. Heres my photos and thanks in advance.

You did a good job! I like some of your posing ideas, and #3 is awesome!

On the first one, personally I would use a shallower depth of field, separate the flowers & glasses more from the cake.

#2 looks a little cool in temp, maybe warm it up a tad?

Thanks! Im on a trip right now and I dont have the file on hand, but what I did is I used pocket wizarda to fire an OCF on a stand as a back light, I also had a flash on the camera. That shot was taken at 2.8 and I think at 1/60. The flash exposure was manual for both. Iso was probably 1000 or 1600

Watch your white balance / color balance. I see it going from too warm to cool.
Also, I don't care for the shot of the bride with her body sideways. It doesn't flatter her. Rather than straight up, get her into an 'S' curve to accent her figure.
The golf course shot at night would have been nice if you back-lit it as well for separation.
Doing good...keep working at it!

Thanks for the critique, could you post an example of the S curve, I didnt quite understand.

Here's my take.

#1: I like the composition. The cake looks OOF. The roses and the glasses look more in focus. Also, there's some hefty purple fringing going on especially on the rose where it overlaps the cake.

#2: I think this is a good capture but her expression is not flattering at all. The flare on the right is too much.

#3: I would have put the groom in the middle. Him being on the left throws off the balance. WB is off.

#4: I think this is a decent shot. Could use a tinge warming up.

#5: Not sure I like the angle or the framing. Her foot is cut off and his leg is too. Lighting up top is very harsh.

#6: Too centered. WB is off. Looks a tinge soft. There's some funkiness happening on the edge of the dress on the right side.

#7: Decent shot, but it looks like a weird angle to be shooting a dip shot. His face might be a touch too hot.

#8: I think this is better than the other group shot. Better balance. Too bad about the tree behind the brides head, but I don't think that's a huge deal.

#9: I would crop much tighter. In fact, I would crop it landscape orientation. Looks a little soft and I would clone out the white/red dots in the background.

I think overall these are decent if not inconsistent. Lighting seems harsh on most of them. I think this is a good attempt for a first. Keep at it! :)
