First wedding

These are just two pictures I just finished editing and wanted to share. This was one of the most hectic and stressful experiences ever but I enjoyed every moment. Ill post more as I go along.

The room was very small in the first picture and I did the best I could with two strobes. The ceiling was so low that it wouldnt have been a good idea to bounce from. Any critiques welcome.

Excellent shots. You seem to know what you are doing.

How did you get her to let you take number 2

lovely shots.

Well from these three it looks pretty good. Post some more!

Looks like you did real well.

Thanks for feedback guys. I was nervous about not getting every shot so I went trigger happy. I have over 1300 pictures to review. eek

Magnificent shots!
Keep those shutters releases coming...
You did very good.

Could be just my monitor but the one of the bridesmaid has most of her face blown out.

On my monitor its sort of border line, but it was the effect i was going for

You were going for a blown out face? I mean it's a very casual shot, but why would you go for blown out?

LOVE the first shot. Mind sharing a bit of the lighting scheme for it?

Not all the way blown out, on my monitor it doesnt look too blown out, but i wanted to increase the highlights more than normal

Why would you even want to get close to being blown? I apologize for my ignorance but your statement confuses me.

Aloha,

Why not? Is it that bad a thing for blown highlights? It seems highlights higher than normal is taboo on this forum. I recall couple arguments on the GN forums about highlights being blown. For me the picture works and the bride loved it as well, not everything has to be text book.
