Second Wedding :)

Getting more experience... Some of the after-ceremony shots as a sample. Note that I like an artistic touch to my photos, sometimes pushing it. Numbers 4 and 6 are examples - I worked a lot with brushes there. Thank you.

Thank you. The groom just tipped over the bride's dress, he didn't fall.

Really nice work Ed - love number 1 especially.

Last one feels a bit cool - but maybe you were going for that look.

Yes, I applied one of the cooling Color Filter adjustment layer. I liked the "editorial" feel since it's not serious.

I like #4 and #5, some how #3 is nice but it makes me feel COLD lol. The effect is nice but may be a little too much on their skin just my 2 cents.

I like them. I am a little confused on #3. I don't understand why that shot is a keeper. I like the conversion but it seems to me it has no point. Do you have any of the Bride smiling? Would love to see more. Very nice!

An honest opinion
1) nice, even if some blown out areas, but these don't matter
2) good composing, but to cool color, check WB. Where is the groom's thumb? It disappears suddenly in softness, whereas the surrounding area is sharp.
3) Oooppps Shows well the size of the car and that you must fall over the partner due to no space.
4) Converting well done, if the bride smiled, it would be even better
5) great shot
6) His face is much to dark, use a layer to brighten his face
7) Much to cold in colors. You mentioned that you like it cool, but that's frosty.

great set of photos

Great set, they should be pleased with them. 1,4,5 are great.

Regarding:
2) The thumb was concealed during the shot per client's request, for a reason. I sank it into the dress at capture.
6) I'll look into that, although it looks acceptable on my monitor. A slight boost wouldn't hurt.

Because to me, it is a fun PJ shot.
I have other shots of the bride, smiling. Will get to them... eventually. The couple actually did not purchase the post-processing service, so all edits are at my discretion and timeframe.

I read the thread and now I see whats going on.

Does this work for you? When you mean pp, do you mean extras or basic correction?

If I understood your question correctly, they only paid for my photography time there plus a disk with RAW files, automatically converted to JPEGs.

I'm building my wedding portfolio so I don't mind post-processing for myself, plus I may talk them into buying some retouched ones, once they see them online (got a release for that). I select a couple of dozens photos, do basic color- and exposure correction, then work on skin, textures, selected elements, then apply various artistic effects.
