My first wedding. Give it to me!

Well, did a wedding for a friend. I guess it is how many start out.
I would love some advice.
I will post a few samples. Got some great shots I think. But I need some advice.

It is VERY windy and VERY cloudy. But the sun kept coming out between clouds. I had a very hard time with lighting outside. I would get all setup and the sun would come out and then BAM too much light. I didn't have any reflector. Was supose to rain and we were supose to be indoor.
Any advice when it is just very bright out and a fill flash doesn't cut it? Should I be using reflector?

In light like that make sure your shutter is 1/250th or slower, so you're not using high speed sync. You might need ISO100 and F32, do what you have to. If you can't get that then a reflector will do the job for you.

First two images are cool, slightly odd shadows in the 2nd, but still good. The 2nd two shots would've been a little tricky, needs more fill like you said. Good poses though, with a bit of processing they should be good, pay attention to white ballance.

Tim, thanks. You are always helpful. I am going to do some more practice shots when the weather is like that again.

I like #1 quite a bit. # 2 is very nice as well. The last 2 aren't bad, but there are shadows o the faces that are slightly distracting I think.

#1 is also the winner for me. The best out of all the series. You are definatley on the right track though. I wasn't at the shoot but if you could have had the groom step forward about 2 inches in the last shot you may could've eliminated some of the hotspots on his face. Seriously though, they are good. Nothing a little PP won't fix. Good job...

Very nice ... your WB is off ... you should shoot gray card or WhiBal over the course of the day so you can get consistent skin-tones and wedding dresses.

Great job, Mikester. Love that first picture... outstanding, with the bride's beautiful neckline and the stained glass window in the background.

Nitpicking but clone out the two grooms fingers in the first shot.

A reflector may well have helped on the second set

Thanks again all. I was for sure focused on the pose. Not really sure what to do to keep the WB on track. I will do some research on that. I kept it on auto wb for the day. I guess that wasn't good.

Also, there is a lot of advice i have seen for reflectors. What do you all bring to an outside shoot for wedding photos?

I use one of these for White balance

and have a couple of these as reflectors

Both fold up into small bags

Some of the better "first wedding" shots I've seen here, the couple will be very pleased! I LOVE the beautiful natural light in the first one, and the way you framed the stained glass in the background.

Not crazy about the pose in #3, If you're going to have the bride face the tree, don't let there be space between her and the trunk. Have her lean her body all the way into it.

Now, a bit of advice I was given by my first mentor, and should be told to every new wedding photographer:

WATCH THE FLOWERS - Brides want to cover their bust with them as a natural defence b/c they're uncomfortable in front of the camera. Don't let them. Flowers should be down near their waist when posing, so they don't hide the detail on the bodice of the dress! Hands by the waist holding the flowers also creates the teapot shape that is flattering to almost all women!

Thank you so much for the advice all. I really appreciate it and will for sure try all the suggestions. As soon as it stops SNOWING I am going to get out there and try some more.
Thanks for the pose suggestions Jamie.
