Oh yeah!

Damnit! Good call.

Although, spelt that way, it looks closer to "Brain", which makes me happy. LOL

Mine is spelled "Brian" and I don't know how many times people spell it "Brain". lol Wasn't just in elementry school...current coworkers have spelled it wrong too. LOL

I'd take it as a complement LOL

Okay here I am (finally) with my comments (hope you don't mind them here instead of email).

I'm not going to repeat what others have said but give my opinion and if I'm being honest I forgot the list of criteria you wanted me to touch on so I'm just going to rant starting now.

Your splash page creates side scrolling after you added in the third picture for your sports photography. Your page states min resolution of 1024 (wide) but your three pictures (without the padding around them and just the pictures are 418/375/375 = 1168 > 1024 (and 1024 is arbitrary considering borders and other things so if you want to stick with that size you might want to resize the pics a bit better. Also they are different sizes, not sure if you noticed that but I did

My screen resolution "is" 1680 x 1050 but I never have my windows maximized and my browsing window is 1023x950 (I just took a screen cap to get you that size - damn one pixel off haha).

My only other complaint about the splash screen is it is typical Bludomain. If you see one you've seen them all. As soon as I go to a site and see the splash screen I know that the inside of the site will have the same sort of look and feel as all the others I've seen -- could possibly become confusing for the novices out there I'm not sure. Go to a splash screen and it looks the same as another site may get sites confused etc. You might also want to move your blog to be the third photo in the grouping so your two "selling" sites are one and two and get the first looks.

Going inside the site at first the colour changing background was semi throwing me off but after a bit I became accustomed to it. And I'm not sure if you did it or it was by chance but the background at times brings out the accompanying photo quite well.

On some of the galleries however move some of the better "wow" photos up and some of the blander photos back (or take out completely) -- I'd say the one this is most prominent would be the portrait section.

I also broke the site. I went to the client section, didn't know the password so continued browsing by clicking the shopping bag icon, instead of clicking an X or close I decided to click on one of your menu items to see what would happen. The cart stays open (as it should) and the page transitions, after closing the cart I see the page under it however if I click Client again the page no longer loads -- to fix this I have to click the bag, then close it at the client section -- people may not figure this out -- people may or may not do this either I might just be hard testing the site.

Inside the site the widths of the pictures change but it seems like most stay in my view port area of my browser which is good -- and makes the splash page even more off.

The About page seems good now -- I didn't catch the "sales pitch" one.

Prices you're lowering yourself, trust me on this one. I'm currently in the market for a photog and you're definitely lowering yourself for your quality. However I'm a knowledgeable shopper and realize your price may rise after each year -- others may not know this or find this acceptable.

Also the picture on this section is great but sort of a waste considering the background for the content section completely cuts the brides face in half. Possibly finding a picture with the subject more right may add to the section a bit better.

Contact page is a general page. Nothing special but they're pretty plain from the get go anyway.

And with that I think I touched on most. Let me know if you need more and I can go back through, I'm semi rushed right now.

Ah yes, one more thing.

The songs are def popular for our age group but also more than likely protected. Might want to check into something else for a substitute as a "just in case". One thing you may consider is talking to local bands/musicians and featuring their songs. It's a win win in that case and what I plan on doing if I ever fully get into the whole wedding thing.

logo isn't central

site is too wide (955 is the usual websafe width)

the music off button is way down in the bottom left of the screen on larger resolutions

the style of the home page isn't the same as the wedding, and your sports again is different.. i gave up on you blog as it took over 20 seconds and it still hadn't loaded

oh and it takes way too long for anything to load..

You have Anya for the "Only Time" track. It is spelled Enya.
