First wedding as a 2nd shooter....CC Welcomed!!

This was my very first time shooting a wedding where I had approached the couple whom I have known for some time. I had offered my services, but also emphasized that I am very new and would love to shoot their wedding along with their hired photographer. Amazingly, they said yes and their hired photographer and I clicked really well and he helped me quite a bit too.

I shot an E-shoot with them a month prior to their wedding without the hired photog and 3 weeks later I joined the hired photog for another E-shoot and then we shot the ceremony for which I did the groom getting ready shot by myself.

Couple really loved my pictures and were very pleased with the end result. I also took it upon myself to provide a small album of 4x6 prints of their E-shoot to them as a gift and bride was pleasantly surprised, which made my day .

Anyways, I would love to hear feedback from the more seasoned photogs and would love whatever criticism, feedback, suggestions that you would like to send my way.

Beautiful series of shots, well done.

very nice

Nicely done!!! You can be very proud of these!

these came out really nice, just not too crazy on some of the PP, but that just my taste.

Here are my suggestions / critique:

1-fine for what it is. Have any including the mirror ?
2-I think with the amount of detail here I either would have stopped down OR moved so that the garment was more parallel to the focal plane. Shooting large aperture looks cool, but I think there are times that you have to at least ask: would more of this in focus be better ? I myself often don't ask this question enough.
3-Where does the viewer look: up to the face--but the groom's looking down; we trace his eyes to where he's buttoning up--but that's out of focus. Also--not really digging the green tones in this image. Why green ?
4-Decent--not sure about the processing.
5-As good as 4, but a wild processing shift from the last set.
6-there's so much detail, I feel like I want to be closer--you probably have these shots.
7-Reflection doesn't help much; car blown out and melting into the rest of the scene doesn't help. Good moment, though--she looks happy.
8-you needed to include her foot, I think. Her legs are too close to the bottom of the frame. I think in terms of processing this looks just incorrectly color balanced (to magenta) rather than it being an effect.
9-lighting on her face not even enough--note her nose is lit up--not as flattering as it could be. Skin looks a little overly smoothed (negative clarity ?).
10-I like this
11-the processing weakens the image, I think.
12-not ideal lighting--note her nose which is lit up again, making it appear larger than it is. dodging might help. His shoulder looks blown. Not a fan of this sepia conversion.

This is really good work....

good work...but the processing needs to be consistent.
