I am not normally a wedding photographer, but I was paid to do a wedding for a friend of mine and found out the mother of the bride is one of those... Well I get paid less than $200 and she seems to expect a $3000 quality, wink wink nudge nudge :cry

So, I need to ask, do you think she might be happy with these photos?
If not, any C&C would be help full, PP tips that could help?

    I looked at the first two pages...your images are sharp, colors look pretty good overall, and you separated subject from background nicely.

    Awesome shots of the ring ceremony...wow, I never have been able to get in that close!

    Well done.

    Charge 10x more next time so that people don't expect this quality for $200. Wink wink nudge nudge. mwink.gifD

    I think you can show these to her with confidence.
    Just be sure to not say things that will make her think you had no idea what you were doing or that this is your first time...then she will go looking for issues.

    These photos are actuall pretty good.

    You have lots of view because people read your post but then don't click on your link.

    Love Grandpa taking the cell phone pic... i think taking generational photos at a wedding is important; mixing old with new.

    That cake is insanely beautiful, i'm digging the close up of the actual cutting. Haven't seen that a whole lot.

    Maybe post process a few to make them sepia or spot color. Something easy and mom might be impressed. It's hard to please everyone...

    For $200 - the MoB should be doing backflips over these. Don't ever charge that little again! You are so worth so much more than that.

    I agree! You did a great job, and you'll keep getting better with experience.
