Try and make the blacks = black and the whites = white. It'll give you much more contrast and the images will really pop compared to this low contrast thing that's going on now.

I actually got called out on this a few times and have since majorly upped the contrast. The histogram now has a true black and a true white for each one

Excellent - I didn't mean to only give the critique but I had a busy weekend. My site for weddings is http://www.pictureinfinity.com so that gives you some idea where I'm coming from.

Good luck!

didnt look at them all but from what i have looked at they all look very very very nice, great light and quality, some of the shots where abit strange with the bride pulling a face while pulling her dress up lol.

over all very very nice photo's ( dont know much about photography but i do abit in college)

i like the shots with objects in the very front using depth of field to blur them and focus past them into the room or into a mirror..... it makes you feel your actualy there watching the event.

i purticualy like the shot of the small girl with her hand in a table orniment (sort of bowl) with the objects silohetted in the foreground

It's good to work out a day prior to the wedding you can go and walk through with the bride and groom all dressed up and take special photographs right up close and romantic. (i.e. there aren't a million people interrupting and having camera flashes on...)

Brides want to look like fashion models for our weddings and we want to be shot that way. If it takes 300 shots to get her looking like a diva - do it. The hotter you make the bride the more they'll like the images.

If you're a little bit new take a ton of photographs. Take far more then necessary. Experiment and find a wider range. If you can get the bride and groom the day before take your time when you shoot them. Shoot a few hundred images in various ways. Remember to stand up on top of a chair and shoot from a top down view, lay on the floor and shoot up at them, climb a tree and shoot them from there (well maybe not) -- mix up your angles. Tilt you angles.

Also - if you are shooting two or more people tell them to get uncomfortably close. Squish them in TIGHT then photograph them. It returns a better result.

I love the one with the grooms sneakers. Did they plan that or was that a wedding day mishap?
