So normally the story goes, a friend was in need and asked me to shoot their wedding. This is no different. It wasn't a lavish wedding but it meant a lot to the couple to have all of their friends and family there. The ceremony ended after sunset so we had to "make do" with what we had to work with inside the building. As always, c+c very welcome.

1 Had to try the ring shot. Couldn't get her ring to stand up so I had to improvise. I would've liked to get it more in focus but I didn't have a macro. = (

2 This was in the hallway of the building at the forest preserve. Not the best backdrop but I kind of like how it turned out.

3 Pure emotion from the Father/Daughter dance

Good ring photo. Move your water mark out of the way.

I'm not liking the harsh glare on the rings, but the other photos are great. Your background in the second photo is blurry enough to not be a distraction.

The ring shot works OK, been done loads but B&Gs love it :) 2 is only let down by his 'Chandler' (Friends) grin. 3 is rocking!

I think the ring shot is OK. Honestly though, it's kinda been done to death and ends up being a little on the cheesy side. It is what it is. I'm sure the couple will be happy with it though.

I like #2. I agree that the background is diffused enough for it to not be a distraction. I might crop it tighter so that the skin on his hand isn't showing since it gives off a little bit of that chopped off feeling. His smile is also stiff/manufactured/wei​rd. But overall a nice image.

I also like #3 the most. You did a good job on capturing her emotion. A knit pick would be her hand being chopped off, but I think that's OK. I like the conversion as well.
