Just thought I would share a few photos from Satruday, I took 1700 pictures that day but only had time to post just a few for now. I have another wedding this weekend, work full time and will be on vacation for 8 days, I can't wait to dive in and start processing the photos from this wedding :D
<br>Lenses used were 70-200 2.8is and 17-55 2.8is
<br>I have to say that I have learned so much from this forum and it's users, I am so glad that I found this forum!! I felt so comfortable at this wedding with my camera and it's settings that I was able to venture out of my comfort zone, playing around with different aperatures, shutter speeds, higher ISO's, no flash, and off camera flash.
<br>A HUGE thanks to everyone who posts and is so open with ideas and critiques when they post!:clap

    i don't think I like #4 very much. Her arm looks a little "disfigured" in it.

    But a nice set!

    Yeah, the arm needs to be bent a bit forward in #4, but you've definitely got some great shots there!

    (And I really like #4 otherwise)

    1 and 5 are beautiful and look perfect.
    All the rest are a little underexposed.
    In 4 she is pushing her arm down not letting it hang relaxed.
    In 7 the dress is blown along the back and the photo needs more contrast overall.

    Really a nice set overall, I am only pointing out a few small things for your continued development.
    When it is flat light the contrast will need to be bumped without blowing the dress.... a bit of a tightrope.

    The couple is going to love these.

    I am sure you have tons more good ones in there, have fun with the processing.
    Nice job on these!

    Thanks to everyone who has already responded!! Comments are very appreciated!


    Hahaha, the arm does look funny, never noticed that, I did only spend about 10 minutes getting the pics uploaded so didn't study them real close, may have missed it anyways though!


    Zoomer, I will keep that exposure in mind, maybe boost it a little. I thought they looked pretty good but I do have a fear of overexposing the photos, and yes I have a ton more that are just awesome! Will try and post a link when I get them all finished.

    Nice set. I am curious about the lighting in #4. What is that light behind the bride?

    elizabethluna: I also love those two shots, thanks for taking the time to look and comment !!!

    bloomphotog: thanks for looking and commenting, I sure hope they will love them, I did their engagement photos also and they were thrilled so I'm sure they will be happy with these too!!

    joshhuntnm: thanks for looking and commenting! I can explain the lighting in #4, behind and above her to the left of the photo was a window, I think that is what brightened up the wall behind her, then at the bottom of the stairs I had one 580ex mounted on a light stand with a 48 inch shoot through umbrella (from Alien Bees) to the right, I brought the flash and umbrella up real high on the stand so the light could reach her face, behind me there was also a window so that would have been directly in front of her, that window may or may not have helped out since it was so much lower than she was.

    farnsworthphotography: thanks for the compliments, if you need more ideas feel free to check out my previous wedding galleries, I do post all formals under one gallery so they are easy to get too. I also have a binder with tons of ideas I take with me the day of the wedding, I'm always pretty nervous so when I start getting brain fade I can go to the binder for inspiration, it also helps the people you are trying to pose understand your idea if you can show it to them!! http://www.picturegirlphotos.com/Weddings

    I really like 1 & 5. Good use of the Natural Light!. The colors in 5 are great. IMO #2 could use some more DOF.

    For anyone interested her are the rest of the pics...
    http://www.picturegirlphotos.com/gallery/9024327_dDhZr

    I posted the best 148 pictures only into this gallery. I just don't have time to process all the pics anymore like I used too so I am going to try something new. I will choose the best 150 and post those into a gallery the rest will be put into locked galleries undedited. Not very comfortable posting unedited pics but I just don't see any other way to do it. This was the last wedding I posted that has all the "proofs" edited my following weddings/proofs are being posted to smug mug without being edited.
    <br>
    Anyone else post your weddings this way?
    <br>
    Thanks again everyone for your feedback!
