Jax and Jason-Wedding Sneak

^^^All of that.

Yeah, the blacks ARE looking super black. I'll have to fix that. Thanks!

Wow, I had no idea the shots totally sucked Cloud. I guess I screwed up.

Just my opinion of course but, yes, to me, they suck.

Thing is we all suck sometimes. Unfortunately, I know you can do better. Unfortunately #2, someone else who does not know you has a right to wonder why those are posted int he Pro area...

Good to know Cloud. Like I said, I'm taking some "vintage" looks for a test drive, and I wanted feedback. Guess the vintage look just isn't working for me. The reason I asked schewettylens about his site, is because I wanted to see if he did vintage and how his looked. It wasn't a who's better thing, just more of a processing curiousity. Anyhoo.....back to the drawing board.
The bride has seen these on FB and really loves them, but I'll redo them just so she has different options. The only photos I've worked up on her wedding are these few and they are still RAW in Lightroom, so it's easy to put a new tweak on them. Thanks for all the feedback, because this type of processing is new for me, and I wasn't sure how it came off. Guess it didn't come off too well at all!
Thanks again.

Ok, fine, but when you take things out for a test drive, give us a clue. This just looked like you were all over the place with no idea where you were heading. Just saying those were PP trials would have explained the differences from shot to shot.

All my comments I made had nothing to do with what my work look like. If you want to know my credentials, you should never listen to anything I say. I have shot only 11 months. I probably talk more than I shoot if you look at my post count.

Ah! Ok. These were a test drive. Too late I guess!

In Dallas right now, I'm not sure about other places, there is this HUGE vintage thing going on. I wasn't a fan for a while, because everything looked washed out. Then I lost a few jobs to the vintage wedding folks and thought I should give it another looksee. I didn't want to become "dated". (I see the irony....LOL).
Hubby keeps telling me to stay the course because it has worked all these years, but I don't want to be that photographer with the ugly blue background and a mullet. It's hard to know when you need to spice things up.

Anyhoo, I'll rework these in my more classic (boring?) style, and give them another strut.

I didn't think it did. I saw your site and I like your work. We process differently (at least the way I normally do it) but that aint a bad thing. I just wanted to see if you did vintage.

Pretty encompassing critiques. Agree with all of them.
