Last one is my favourite - just super portrait.
Why dont you 'work with her skin', I wonder?
Spasibo,
Yuri

Love your pictures.
-The first one I really like the idea. I don't so much like the bar code on the back of the mirror but that's easy to take off. The lighting is nice and warm... do you have any more poses of her with the mirror?
-I'll do two and three together. I like the wide angle you have on the tying of the bride's dress but the intimate closer view and beauitful and a real keeper.
-Four is a nice candid. I like that one.
- Five and Six are very nice. Some really nice pictures of the the bride. I like the last one especially. It's like her groom just came around the corner or something. So, wistful.
Overall, very good job. So, let's have more of the bonbardment of wedding pictures.

Thank you for the comments everybody. Here is another small round of pics:
It was periodically raining, so we had to shoot much of the portraits between bands of medium to light rain. So we stuck pretty close to tree cover to keep everyone dry.

I now look at your photos and asking "where did he put the light?":D
Great work, I see that still have a lot to learn, but at least you provide such a fine learning material:-).
I like the way you've used that mirrior:-)
Cheers, mastah!
I may just consider marrying again... would you come over here to Israel Shay?

I'm shooting a wedding this Sat., your shots are inspirational.

The ceremony almost got rained out, but just as people were starting to head for the trees, it let up and all went without a hitch.

i'm assuming you were only using your 16-35 and 70-200 the entire time, i'm also assuming you use two bodies, but i could be wrong.
my favorite shot so far is the last shot of the first set you posted, it's beautiful.
EDIT: i noticed theres one you just posted that was apparently taken with the 18-55 kit lens, is that right?
The 70-200 is honkin' huge! I really debated on whether or not it would work for me, and it's really heavy too. It might not sound like it to some, but when you carry this all day for 12 hours, that adds up
But the results, like you mentioned, are worth it to me. I can't actually imagine not using the lens now. And with the IS (image stabilization) I can use it at 1/60th of a second in low light situations very reliably without getting camera shake at full zoom. Just amazing.
i'm assuming you were only using your 16-35 and 70-200 the entire time, i'm also assuming you use two bodies, but i could be wrong.
I carry three lenses in my bag, the 70-200, 16-35, and the 50mm. I mostly use the 70-200 and the 16-35 for everything. I do use two bodies, and at times will use both at the same time, but my preference is to use one body and swap lenses. I do too much body movement to have two bodies swinging around my neck most times. When I am not using Jen for anything, she takes the second body with the kit lens. When she gets a good one, it finds it's way into the gallery (much to her delight hehehe)
EDIT: i noticed theres one you just posted that was apparently taken with the 18-55 kit lens, is that right?
Yes, you are correct. As mentioned above, Jen shoots with the kit lens, and one of them found their way into this post by accident. Not that it's a bad thing of course, but I like to keep any confusion at a minimum
Jen is currently in training with the camera. In a while, she will start learning PS too. She is making good progress and the goal is to have her capable of doing a wedding all on her own.

There was also some incandescent lights up in the ceiling that helped to impart the warm tones and the walls were an orange-y yellow which helped too.

These are really great. I love the colors. Glad the rain held off!

Peter, that's a trade secret....hahaha....no, really, it was as simple as just suggesting they all laugh and have a good time. They were already in a happy fun loving mood, so they did not need any other help than that. Also did a non laughing shot:
BridgeCity: You can do a lot with the kit lens. The 50mm will let you do low light work. You don't need a bevy of lenses to get good work done ;-) but with that said, the 16-35mm is totally sweet and bright.
Angelo: I look for lighting and backgrounds almost as much as I look for subject matter. When both make themselves available at the same time, that's when the sparks fly :-)
binghott: As Shima mentioned, Jen is my wife.
dragon300zx: You may launch when ready

The reception was held under a tent. Good thing too, because not long after everyone got seated, it started pouring cats and dogs.

I have to agree with Gus on the following shot. It's my fave from the series.
A wedding in a scenic location with photogenic people. That makes a difficult job a little easier. Looks like it was a fun shoot.
