Bravo. It that's your first wedding, its obvious you invested some time in prep work. It paid off. Whatever you charge -- double it! :)

aw wow guys thanks so much :) i'm smiling from ear to ear

I did do lots of homework and surfed so many pages and threads on here its not even funny

I even went to my college that i did my basic photography course in and sat there for hours while they helped with the speedlight and settings for a dark wedding

lol my watermark stays - i've had someone steal some of my studio shots so now its there big and bold - obvioulsy they don't see the watermark

but thanks again guys i'm really flattered by the comments

You should be proud of yourself! Great job for a first wedding! The first one is always a killer.

Great pics!
The watermark is a necessary evil, very well done.

Great Images... absolutely beautiful for most of them. Only gripe is that 12 & 13 look like they are P&S candids. Not bad color and lighting on them but just the poses dont seem to work for me. Other than that, like everyone else has said, the Watermark.

Good stuff for a beginner!

One big thing though - shots like #13, where you use flash - you've gotta learn to drag the shutter to expose for the background.

Slow your shutter speed and sent the camera to 2nd curtain sync.

Way too much cropping in the pictures for my liking. Try stepping back the shots.
