I could have done well without that pig shot. It kinda takes away from the other shots you posted. haha!

Those are some shiny eyes! I love the prep shot (#3)!

Yeah I agree..the I didn't quite hit focus on the pigs eyes and there are specular highlight all over! She/he is quite stunning none the less!

Any pics of the couple? (other than the one you posted)

Thanks, too much editing this weekend made my eyes wonky. I swear when you stare at the same shots over and over your eyes get accustomed to color casts.

Here is another of the couple.



edit: *sigh* angie, your request made me look through my shots and I got a bunch of candids of bride and groom but not a "wallhanger" type. *makes mental note*

I really like the crop on number 5. the line in her dress looks great at that angle. I would just work on her skin tone. She looks very orange...maybe too much tanning I have had some brides do that to me. But, nice work so far. Would like to see a full dress shot, as it looks like it could be beautiful!

The catchlights in the little girls eye's in number seven are perfect. Normally, small kids shots from an adult's height are throw aways, but I really like this one.

And number 3 is stunning!

The pig is disgusting. Good photograph, just dead animals aren't nearly as fun as cute kids and beautiful brides.

Not Bashing Quairk, but were you shooting 2nd on this one? No couple shots and no shots of the dress are a big failing on your part if you were the primary. That's not like accidentally forgetting to get a shot of Grandma gettin' jiggy on the dance floor! Maybe they just wanted candids only? If that was an oversight and not spelled out in your contract or per their request, I would personally call them now to arrange a free after session.

As for the shots, I think they are pretty good. I agree with your comment about your eye's color perception wandering after a long PS session... happens to me too. I notice you shoot often from a high angle, and you may want to get down low a little more. Low not under but level. Shooting high and angled is a great way to blur/distort the lower parts of the subject but most people will want some that are more true to reality in that department. Your detail shots are really great though and everything you posted works IMHO, but it is probably a good idea to mix it up in that regard if you aren't already. On a positive note your processing look nice with good pop, and your lighting looks very natural. From a technical standpoint these are very well done to my eye.

Matt, I was not 2nd. I am however rather new to weddings and am still learning. I was happy with the shots I got but I wish I had gotten a few more poses. Lessons were learned. heh

Thanks for looking and commenting.
