stunning work. I mentally made note to mention a few but my list grew too long, there are so many that are just wonderful. The bride is lovely and a smart cookie to get you as her photographer. congrats!
sorry about your lens...:cry but at least this was a great way for it to go!

These are LOVELY. The bride should be very happy. Nice and sharp/detailed, and catching a lot of great emotion. I know this is really nit-picky, but PLEASE fix the dress tear (and small bra strap?) on #32 and 33. If I was her I would be mortified, haha. :-)

34. What is he wearing? Duuude.. better be drunk! 33, is a nice capture. Is he saying YESSSS?

Anyhoo, did you do more exploration with the dress and reflection? I kinda like that concept of the dress images over the other three. Nice to see that you are exploring negative space.


Not sure I dig the black and whites though.

well... while he was up her dress looking for the guarder he pulled out a huge pair of "granny panties". it was super funny. i have one shot that is ok, but my second shooter ended up being in the way :cry
this guy put on the undies a few songs later. He was a hit.

I have a few dress reflection shots but all the same concept. The furniture in the hotel room was super heavy and very crowded. hard to do any rearranging.

what don't you like about the black and whites? i am never 100% happy with them, but this client wanted lots of them.

I like the BW treatment on the first two (the dresses) and #25. But I think the rest the blacks are too rich.

#14. Did she get a group hug? It looks like she is doing the vocal stretches, if you know what I mean.

it was their first site photos. they met in the lobby before the ceremony so we had time to do some outdoor photos before it got dark. this was her reaction to seeing him for the first time. the other shooter got his reaction.

No worries! I am in the process of editing over 1,000 photos from a 4 hour Boudoir shoot I did, and the client is very detail oriented. I'm suprised I even noticed the tear with how little sleep I've been getting

I noticed it almost immediately, too -- in one of the shots it looks like both bridesmaids have it in the same spot.

Your coloring is delicious!!

One of my favorites is the ring shot in number 7...really good...looks like it's suspended...nice capture. One of my not so favorites...number 16...the open mouth look. It's not usually very appealing...and unless your couple can do a movie magic kiss...usually not the shot your want. Most of the time you want no puckered lips...the pooched pucker...looks funny...and no OM....open mouth...not sexy. I view taking pictures of people kissing like taking pictures of people talking...you never know what you're going to get until you look...in both cases you can wind up with funny to weird looking lip positions that aren't normally noticed or remembered when watching someone speak or kiss. And, I'm not saying you can't get good kissing shots...cause you can. Befores and afters are usually better...

Just my opinion...
