Gotta love the dress blues.
I'm quite open to some good C&C, as it only makes me better. Is the processing too much with all the color shifting? It definately sets it apart.
No real bridal shots here. My 2nd shooter covered the bride this time, and I don't have the disc yet. The bride was about 90 minutes late getting ready, so we had very limited time for the photos we were going to get.
The 3 photo series by the wall is really about half of the series, but it shows the important factors. This was their first viewing of each other, prior to the wedding. They didn't quite follow instructions, or else I would have had them meet in the middle at the corner, and I could have captured more of his face. He really started to choke-up a bit, but I'm not sure if it shows that, or if he just looks bored. Trust me, he's not. He's tearing up. Does it show?
As for technical things, let it fly. Hit me.
Groom prep. (yes, that's his wedding ring on right hand. They were already married in the court or whatever, and I should have thought to have him remove it)
1
Groom with best man/brother
2
Candid shot of groom being looked over by one of his guys.
3

4

5) A, B, C, D
Few minutes later, elsewhere..
6

7

Are you working on a calibrated monitor? I am and the first glance ABCD shots look pretty gray/green to my eyes, the processing doesn't flatter her skin. The desaturated shots in the beginning of the set don't bother me so much, but the happy moment they first see each other feels kinda gloomy.
50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.8, 24-70 2.8L, 35mm 1.4L, 135mm f2L

5DMII | 24-105mm f/4L | 45mm TS/E | 135mm f/2.0L | 70-200mm f/2.8L IS | 50mm f/1.4 | 580EX II & 430EX
The color shifting is interesting. I mean that literary. For the couple looking for something different and dramatic I think it would be a very cool option.
As for my monitor...no it's not calibrated yet, and I know I need it done. Any advice on how one goes about doing this (or having it done)?
The color shifting in most of these photos is the "Troy" Trad action. I think I reduced it to maybe 90% though, but still, it's definately shifty. I just really wanted to make the photos stand out. I may try another approach.

Try one of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/ColorVision-Spyder2-Express-Win-Mac/dp/B000ES4PYU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1259184899&sr=8-1">these </a> really worth the little money that they cost.
And the Dancing shot looks like something out of the movies, fantastic shot.
What sort of exposure?
I captured the 1st dance shot with my 50mm wide open at 1.4 1/80th ISO 400
When they walked into the reception hall, they went directly to the dance floor, and to my great delight, there was this spotlight suddenly shining right down on them. I knew about the other cool dance lighting they had there, but not the spot. (it was immobile, just shooting right down). I was stoked. It was a lucky moment for me.
