A couple of bridel shots

Hi all,

I am posting a couple of pictuers of my wife modelling for her mothers shop.
I posted some pictuers a couple days ago and got some good reviews to help me. (previous post was " waiting for prince charming").
The pictuers in the old post were snapshots that i got during the shoot.
The pictuers here are more toward "selling" the desgin of the dress.
My photoshop skills really suck and i have no idea on how to fix her hair and eyes in the #2 picture so any help will be great.

Like before, any c&c will be great (even the harsh ones )

Thank you all

The first shot is really good. Very pretty wife. I don't like the second pose with the hand on hip, but that's my personal preference. The backgrounds might be a little too busy, also.

A lovely wife! These are a little better than before but I want to encourage you to visit sites like those below for inspiration. There are many more so you may want to do a search.

It may even help to have your model look with you so she knows what you are trying to achieve.
Good luck to you!

lovely shots... and lovely model err... wife
#1 is my fav

Yowsa! What a dress! Might not have made it to the reception if my wife been wearing that dress at my wedding.

Congrats on a beautiful wife and model. I like the first one, but the green bush draws my attention away from the "bride". I don't really like the second because her pose causes her skin to bunch under the dress and since it is semi-transparent...just not a good pose for selling this dress.

Nice dress, and good photo's. The background seems to take away from the adress instead of adding to it.

For purposes of showing off and "selling" the dress, you should have a tighter crop and a less busy background that has a good amount of contrast from the dress. this will provide more "pop" to the picture and accentuate the dress.

The lighting in this situation is good

This is a Wedding Dress? Don't get me wrong it's nice, but I guess at 29 I'm getting a little old fashioned.

Lovely wife and dress

Chief-m
So, have you looked at some of those sites? Do you see anything that will help you?

Your wife looks great! I am a fan of the first shot as well! Great pose (nice and simple) and composition. The 2nd shot i would have preferred a slightly tighter crop to eleminate just a tad bit of the right side.

Overall, NICE!
