Very nice job for your first wedding! You have a great eye and did a wonderful job with the lighting. Some of these seem very grainy though, so I'd be a little careful of what ISO you use, as that may have caused this. Other than that, fabulous first wedding job!
(4 and 11 are two of the more noticeable ones with grain)
Yeah I shot quite a few of these at 6400-12800 ISO. I turned NR of in camera and in post. I should probably use some Lightroom NR next time. Thanks!
Great work! One CC though. From looking at your PP work here ( http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=133532 ). I think you might be the best PP that I have ever seen. I think the Bride deserves some of your skills to remove the couple of pimples that you left in the shots. Also the fathers teeth could use some slight whitening.
Thanks for the compliment! I agree with your thoughts on some minor beauty re-touching, definitely. I have the ability to do pretty much anything I want with a photo, but for wedding photos, much like my sports stuff, I really like to have everything look as genuine and real as possible. I will try and see what I can do with some minor LR cloning and clarity tweaks. I'll edit one of the bride shots and post it here.
Eh, I saw this other wedding photog using borders/matte as opposed to watermarks. I am not really trying to "protect" my images as much as brand them so I went with it. Good point though. Feedback on my "borders" would be cool too.
As a father, I would pay big bucks for #12 . The look on the brides face is very moving. Excellent job.
THANKS! When I took this shot I was so excited. I felt it represented so much. There is so many cool interpretations of that image. Such symbolism. I really appreciate someone seeing what I saw in it.

I am not a fan of borders, I don't want to detract from the pictures in any way, just MO. If your set on using borders I would suggest, for lack of a better word, a "duller" color, something that does not draw the eye away from the shots.
wow
I can't believe this is your first paid shoot!!! You are amazing! I really like the intimacy and emotion, as well as the storytelling aspect. Very very nice work!!!!

Thanks! Storytelling is my ultimate goal at an event shoot. Glad to hear it's working.
I'm certainly no pro photographer, but to my eyes, as a consumer, those are some great images. In other words, I'd hire you in a NY minute.
As far as specific pricing goes, I'm clueless. But, after running a successful service business over the past decade, I've at least learned one thing: Basing your prices on what competitors charge is generally a bad idea. Your service is not the same as theirs, and you have different financial goals to achieve.
Enough of that....:D Thanks for the excellent shots and text. I'm learning a lot here.

Post some after wit the flash - i'm wanting the same one!
Beautiful photos. When i look at wedding photos i look as more of a bride than a photog. I'd be happy with these!

I really the like the father/bride shots, too. Some of my faves.
just one thing... what's up with the borders!?

Something maybe people are like..eeh shy about? if they don't have those pearly whites, But it makes the pictures look a little better.
Just something to think about. But, you're the one getting paid not me
Other wise my horrible criticism, amazing shots. Cake shot was funny also!
