I generally don't shoot weddings but a good friend was getting married and was trying to keep the cost low so I shot it for him. Please let me know what you guys think:

I have a hard time with posed shots, they are definitely not my strong point. Thanks in advance for any help!

#3 is the best of the three but I would lighten/brighten it up/added contrast , it's underexposed.

in #2 she has a chandellier on her head and the composition is too central.

#1 is cute but unfortunately you cut off her fingers...

Yeah I kinda blew it with the mirror one, I have another one that is composed better but she has a weird look on her face unfortunately. I also have a slightly different shot of the entryway, but I cut their feet off:

Hope ya dont mind. Bit of sharpness and contrast added and slight crop. Maybe could have used the stairs a bit better, although i can see they are roped off. Looks a bit snap shotty. I kinda think if you gonna go almost full length you maybe should have stepped back and got their feet in too.

Do you have any shots of them on the stairs? (I know you probably weren't supposed to get over there but I would have tried anyways :)) Or on that white sofa?

No, we were going to take one on the stairs but everyone started getting antsy and just kinda wandered off. It is his mom's house so we couldve went up there. Next time I guess :/

Yeah totally, they kinda just blow it off but in the end it makes me look like I missed certain shots. Oh well. Still learning the whole wedding thing, its a tricky trade.

I totally missed this. Looks better your way for sure. I really blew it with most of the posed shots. I would like to assist an established wedding photographer just so I can see how they work.
