Beautiful shots, looks like you executed the B&W very well. And those 2 silhouette shots, great job, I need to learn how to do those kind of silhouette shots, especially #1, excellent

#1 is "wow amazing"!

Yeppers...#1 is way cool. All are nicely done. They'll be pleased.

Thanks everyone.

I have been working on my black and white conversion over the last year and am feeling like i am getting better at it. Still have a ways to go, but like how these turned out.

This was the first chruch wedding that I shot! So many couples now a days are getting married outside, or in the reception hall, making it hard to get that great silhouette shots. My wedding photographer did it with us and they are our fav from our wedding. So, i was super excited to be able to do it for them (and yes they loved them)! What i do want to do is edit out the door hinges at the top, but every time i do it, i think it looks funny. I was able to get rid of them in the close up, but not in the wider shot.

Does anyone think that the church pic needs some straightening? I think the ground and the altar are not parallel, I tried my best????

Yup. I think this is a perspective issue induced by a wider angle lens and not being able to line up the lens and focal plain with the architectural feature of the church. Maybe pick one aspect to make horizontal/vertical and let the rest fall where it will or rotate the image so nothing is horizontal/vertical (make it look on purpose:D).

I do think that perspective/distortion is enhancing the unleveled appearance I would use something at the center as the reference like the cross or the two posts on either side of the bride and groom.
I don't think it would look as good intentionally angled but I do think it would look good to add a little more lens distortion on the outside after it's straightened.
The whole set is gorgeous, I like the Guinness.
