One word: AWSOME!!

I have a small question, how long have been shooting weddings till you became that good ? Honestly, I am proud to see such quality with friends in this forum! Thanks man

Trust me I think there's big room for improvement still on my behalf...thanks though =). I've been shooting weddings for 5 years now and shooting portraiture for 11 years.

Great stuff as always - you know I am always excited to see your posts!

I have a couple small critiques for you:
1) As posted - may be a touch crooked, but maybe that's just due to the curtains?
3) Light (reflection in a window maybe?) to the left is a bit distracting
4) Just a bit tight on the left side - i think if both sides were cropped in it wouldn't be as noticeable - in a 4:5 ratio that's probably exactly what would happen
5) Oh how I wish the one visible arm was covered by the umbrella

All tiny things the client will likely never notice, and you likely already have.

Again - AMAZING set!

Thanks Kristal much appreciated! Yeah I've noticed some of the stuff you've mentioned but not all

. The thing with my workflow is that I try to keep my edits down to 2 minutes a shot that way if I give the client 700 pictures...it should only take me 1400 minutes to finish the job LOL. As you know by now the little nuances can be blown out of proportion during editing resulting in non valued post edits that may equate to labor clients probably won't even notice. It's a tough call sometimes and considering the volume wedding photogs deal with it's easy to miss as well. I guess that's why I don't notice the little stuff sometimes so I come to you guys.

Thanks for the comments Kristal

Very nice stuff here. The one I would say needs improvement is #5. Don't get me wrong I lovvvve the concept, but it just seems a bit dark. I think I would have liked to see that image with the white balance set something like #18. Btw, Are those studio strobes or flashguns for the backlit dancing pictures? Very nice job of taking those shots. Overall, if they were my pictures, I would be more than happy.

The back light are just 580 EX flashes on stands. And I have the 580EX II on a monopod on the camera side for the main light.
