First paid SOLO wedding!

mpriest13

So I got my first solo wedding under my belt. Here is a few shots from the ceremony. ALL C&C is always welcome and appreciated.


1.


2. The little girl in the foreground is the bride's little sister...who was basically raised by the bride. They are very close.



3. Bride and groom walking down the aisle.




4. Ceremony shot. Those balloons were the death of me. It was a little windy and there was almost always a balloon in someone's face.



5.


6.

7. The bride is famously shy and he planted a LONG kiss...she was pretty embarrassed...but in a good way.

First of all, good looking stuff here. Always nice to shoot in a such beautiful setting (or at least you've made it look beautiful). Works nicely when they both have white suits like that too, makes direct sunlight less painful.

Post card like scenery, check.

All critique I can offer is, try shooting from different angles. Also get closer to them if possible with out making a hassle. I feel silly to give advice like this because I only just shot my first wedding a week ago.

Photo 10. is somewhat ominous, almost looks like out of a horror movie with the huge dark building looming in the background.

All in all maybe the photos are bit homogenic, but other than that it looks good.

I love the expressions that you captured—looks like a sweet couple! (And he looks like he's going to keep her on her toes....) : )

Great job!

I do think you captured the emotion fairly well. I am not a fan of the processign though..most shot seem too dark and desaturated look is not working for me.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Just to be clear Qarik...are you saying that you don't like the desaturated look in 5,6 and 11 and that the others are to dark? I am really trying to get a better feel for the processing and could use all the advice I can get. Thanks!
