Alright, then here is my take. Mind you, I am posting this as my opinion (by no means fact) and with the intention to help, not put down. If you feel offended at all, I am sorry and that was not my intention. If you disagree with everything I say, I will not take offense to that.

1. Im not a real fan of it. I dont like the straight on pose, the depth of field is too big for my liking, and she doenst look like a happy bride. I would have tilted her shoulders more to the right of the frame. I do like that you got the entire dress in the shot, but im not a huge fan of the wide angle look either.

2. Again, the depth of field is too deep for my liking and the expressions are odd again. She looks asleep/sleeping beauty, and he looks confused. I am guessing this is a shot taken by the main photographer from straight on which would be a better angle.

3. Again, she doenst look happy and the shot is confusing. It is obvious that she is looking at the main photographer and straight on would have been a better angle again.

thank you for the constructive comments i see where you are coming from in shot three she was not supposed to be smiling it was staged to look like they had fallen out but i noticed in my shots i did not catch her smiling much this may be down to lack of timing which is why i did not take this on on their important day .

Besides what others have said...Huge head, wide angle, no thanks. Don't take a picture with a specific focal length because that length is CONVENIENT to get the picture....always take the picture with the best focal length to present the subject in the most appealing manner appropriate to the imagined shot.

wow glad i never claimed to be a professional still i take on all your comments and thats how we learn, also some weird things going on in your edit over sharpened maybe as there are some strange edges .

Strange edges are from sharpening a resized image and the traits of how your lens handles background blur.

ah i see

Whenever I look at images of brides, I actually look for the eyes. It's important to brighten the eyes up. This is why pros use reflectors and softboxes, even outside. You can fix it a little in post, but for the most part, it's easier just to light the subject first.

All in all, I like the shots.

thank you suzy as this is not my normal type of subject i took these more as a father on the day so did,nt want to get in the way of the pro being payed to do a job. & as such had to settle for maybe not the best angles but i,m generally pleased with them
