Is this too \"masculine\"?

I've seen many other sites geared towards weddings, and they all seem to use flash and flowy lines and arty layouts and such. Is that is what is required these days? I personally hate flash, i think it suffers a lot from over use adn rarely adds anything really usefull...but that's just me.

So...what do you think? Too light? Too square? Please comment!!

I would not use the word masculine to describe this.
***************

It looks OK, and I cannot recall (but I am sure that you have scouted) other similar sites. My impressions were:
(and I could take more time and get more deeply into usability considerations a la www.useit.com (external link) ):

1: Looks fine, seemed a bit small on my monitor -- and some type sizes were small

2: Two images in particular were not to my liking. First the wedding shot. Here a blurred photo is not IMHO putting your best foot forward. Second, the senior lady may be the way to go IF you target audience were seniors. But I think not, pLus, the yellow cast makes this one look a little jaundice.

3: The Pricing stuff is too much on one page and all in the face, and what to read and not to read is not instantly obvious. The major options should be clear in a pick list that leads down one level to the detailed script associated with the individual offerings.

Anyway a website needs to be evlauated by the target audience. The process takes a couple of days and about 5 interviews that follow a formal script, such as what would you be visiting for, where woud you expect to find, and some "find this" exercises et al. You might be able to do this yourself using MS net meeting, or by inviting a few friends in as script-driven explorers.

HOWIE
