They were very young, the groom is 22 and the bride is 21.

The shots are all good, great poses but like bloo said remember or better yet pay attention to detail when you are shooting outside. Shadows are hard to see with our eyes but the camera picks them up very well, this is where you want to use a fill flash wil for the 2nd and 3rd pic psoted just to bring the detail of the brides face out with out haveing to PS to much. Keep up the great work

GOOD JOB! I like them all. #8 is beautiful. My least favorite is #4. I like the composition, but the guys just aren't popping,to me, they blend in too much. However, I love #5 and the tone is beautiful. If you don't mind my asking, how did you tone it? When I try toning the images sometime look filmy and I can't seem to get the right color.

Hmm..... #12 was with a Lightsphere II???
Maybe I am using it incorrectly?? I had it faced towards them, the ceilings were WAY to high to bounce.

Did you have the dome cover on the LSII when you faced it towards them? If not then it defeated the purpose of using the LSII. Usually you just keep it upright even when in the vertical position. Just twist the flash head and it acts like a flash bracket. This is of course a subject to argue, but many many LSII users on here will agree that you don't NEED a bracket with the LSII. Not trying to say that using the LSII is better than using a flash bracket nor am I saying the opposite.

Ok I'll just stop because based on your photos. I should be listening to you instead. Great poses and photos. With photos like this in your portfolio you can name your price after some more experience.

Thank you for sharing.

My mom is a wedding and event coordinator and I've seen my fare share of wedding photos and these are VERY nice! B&G should be very happy with them. I'm still a newbie to photography and I didn't notice the fill flash problems as heavily as others right away until I saw the responses. I guess it's just something to work on a little to make some amazing wedding captures even better.

Nice Job!

Bravo.... I love the Church photo the most, I've been shooting wedding for two years, and live in and work in rural Virginia USA and we don't have any churches like that out here. Your photos are excellent and you make Wedding Photography look easy.....
I have shot Weddings in big barns where they hold horse shows to a church that could only seat 50 (like this last weekend)
Again your work is excellent.

THANKS!! It means alot man!! I think for these beauties, I simply desaturated them.

I must revisit this style, no fill flash, pose people in blazing sunlight and over smooth any and ALL skin.
