I've shot some weddings before informally for family and friends. At the end of May, I shot my first paid and contracted gig. Below is a small cross-section of the wedding. My wife was my second shooter, and she's become quite the photographer in the last year. I'd appreciate CC.

Also, has anyone ever shot a wedding completely in B&W before? I find myself editing a lot of the shots in B&W. It's such a timeless look.

Is it that you don't like the design of the logo or the size/placement?

I don't think it's any more intrusive than any other logo I've seen. Certainly less than having my logo semi-transparent strewn across the middle of the images.

I mean the size is too big IMO maybe because its square , it grabs the eye
it is good if you want to advertise somewhere but it you want to deliver this to client I dont like it
it is my opinion maybe I`m wrong.

The size of the block could be smaller and a bit less visible. I think your placement is good it is just the first thing the eye grabs. Nothing wrong with it just visually seems obstructive. Make it a bit transparent and a few fonts smaller IMO and it would be just fine. Because to be honest even if they were proofs that you didn't want copied I have seen people remove a watermark with not even as much as a blemish from the center of photos.

Hey Steve,

Nice job. Love the low contrast look. Yea agree with the logo though. I saw it before I saw the image.

Lovely set. And I can honestly say the logo doesn't bother me in the slightest, as it's not really part of the image and i can see past it. As if you'd deliver the photos to the clients with the logo on!?!

Logo is too distracting. The processing is inconsistent too - some are over processed, some look under processed. Some backgrounds are distracting and unbalanced (groomsmen shot with the cars)

Really like the first shot.

Steve, great set. Thumbs up. Try to set the logo for these photo sizes at 110x80px it should settle well. As others have mentioned, the logo jumps at you. You want to make it as less intrusive as possible but still let folks know who did the job.


Get out and shoot
