Few from my 2nd wedding!

1, 4 and 6 would be very nice, but it seems that you missed the focus (especially in #6, which would have been a great shot).

in #3, try not to cut off your subject's head.

If the focus wasn't an issue, they'd be nice images!

the focus one and 6 is really off. im not sure your intent on 6 what are we suposed to be looking at

Not a fan of black and white wedding pictures. They look okay except for the ones that are out of focus.

For some reason they are showing up out of focus on here. They are sharp on the prints I had done for the client. I'll figure it out. Thanks for the comments!

i dont believe that is the case for #6 i can see by the lights on the ceiling that the focus is behind the bride

Great shots. Don't sweat issues only another photographer would recognize. Trust me!

Yea... there is no way that #6 has the bride and groom in focus on print. They are a blurry mess.

wait, what? on #1 the focus seems to very sharp on the back of her teeth and earring, and #6 is just completely missed...there's no way the upload messed that one up, lol.

Um...what? That's like an industry standard for timelessness photos. If there was ever a genre of photos that fit within the black and white constraints it’s weddings…now I agree not every image should be black and white.

Here's my take:

1. Looks OOF. As other have pointed out her earrings look to be in focus more than her eyes. The lighting could be better, but otherwise I think this is a decent enough photo.
2. I am not too crazy about her expression here. There's a lot of distracting elements in the background too. I would clone out whatever it is on the lower right.
3. Not feeling it. Might be that it's framed too tightly. Are you showcasing the veil, the dress, the tattoos? Not really sure based on how it's framed.
4. Nice shot.
5. Not really all that crazy about the angle. Maybe it would have been better if shot straight down the stairs to accentuate the dress?
6. This one is simpley OOF. I would have trashed it.
7. Decent shot, although perhaps slightly underexposed.


While agree that B/W has its place, IMHO, some of these photos would look better in color, like #4 and #7. These are all B/W and it gets tiring after a while. Also, B/W is sometime used as a last resort for photos that have nasty color balances, blown out highlights, and other inperfections. Not saying this is the case here, but just saying. In fact, I do that sometime as well!

C'mon. You can't honestly believe that you're going to squeeze that by a forum full of photographers. Printing will never ever cause the point of focus to change.

He did put them in photobucket. I've see that sometime mess with the photos...but it does seem odd.

I would be mortified as a bride to have my jubbly bubblies hanging out like that... Just very unflattering. I dunno why in some shots she looks lean and in others, quite pudgy. Angles, wide angles?

Photo bucket does soften my images, I never did flickr, but yeah... The 2nd last one, no way is usable. Sorry.
