Nat & Jay - Trash The Dress

Ok so after a long hot day getting married its time to trash the damn dress! It was a relief for all, including myself, no stress, just shoot, everyone having fun in the water! Althought there was 2 rules from me, have fun & dont wet the photographer!!

A Couple More:

I'm just a newb, but I like them all.....I can't find a forced smile in any of them and I think thats why I like them all. It looks like it was a really fun shoot!!

They're all nice. Looked like they had blast! My question is why do you have them at ISO 800? they seem to be a bit grainy, bright, hazy look to it. At first i thought they were out of a P&S camera.

I don't think they look they were taken with a point and shoot camera. I think you did struggle to control exposure a bit in some of them with what would've been a frantic scene. I'm talking about 6 and 7 here. #1 and #5 would be much better if added some blacks in Lightroom. I really like #4, too, even if the angle is less than ideal (camera is off to the side).

To me they are good shots but could use some PP. They look SOOC and not very professional. Nice and fun shots of friends on a beach, but not something taken by a pro, you know?

I totally agree with your comment. Pics needs more pop.

Maybe this is too pop but

waaay too pop, tone it down a bit. I love the emotions in these photos, but not too keen on compositions. The purpose of TTD is not simply to get the bride in the dress in water, but also to create a story with it - which means watching out for exposures, composition, and posing. These look to me like their friend was snapping these photos after the wedding party got a little too happy after the reception.

look to be perfectly honest, TTD isnt that big down here. This is the first one ive ever been asked to do. The time of day was an absolute crap time of day. Sun was sitting high with a very large reflection coming off the water. This was straight agter their wedding btw, not a seperate shoot, but same day. The bridal party had all been drinking so trying to compose shots was impossible. So basically yeah, i became the guy with the camera who just snapped away while they had fun and cooled off on a day, while the bride got to trash her dress

For the record, this was my first edit here. I never had courage to edit other people's photos here before
