Last night I went to a friends wedding. I normally don't do wedding pictures because I don't have the experience and I perfer landscape and wildlife. But here is a shot. Please tell me what you think. I would crop the foot out. BTW...I was not paid.

If you shot this in RAW I would try and do a WB correction on this and maybe brighten it up a bit as well.

I would leave the shoe in. Just try and not get the shoe the next time you do this if you shoot another wedding again.

Overall it's a pretty decent shot.

The WB on the second one is way too magenta. You almost had it right in the first one, just need to adjust it toward the blue side just a little. Once you get the WB right, dial down the exposure on the second one just a smidge.

CameraMan...I think they were talking about the barefoot, not the groom's shoe.

Not bad, I wish you were a couple of feet closer so the light would be a bit brighter and you could get more of the expression on his face and detail of her dress. :-\

The first one is not bad, but the brides skin seems to have a strange color. Since none of the other people do I assume that was close to her actual skin color?

Ok I guess that would explain most of it then. No one else in the picture was anything but caucasian so I thought someone got carried away with spray tan. :lol: All in all I say job well done then, esp in what looks like a dark room.

I'd crop out some of the bottom. Seems a bit dark to me too.
