My first wedding

[jemmy]

Hi all, My little business 'White Wish Photography' is off to a great start. Although i told myself i would focus on portraits only for the first 12months, I shot my hubbys cousins wedding 2 weeks ago.... their photographer decided to pull out 3 weeks before!! leaving them stuck. I was happy to do it for them and most excited plus nervous as! I was really happy with the results. Here are a few for your comments and constructive critique.

#1...Pre-ceremony shots..

#2...

#4...

#5...

#6... one from the ceremony

#7...Location #1.. the gardens

#8...

#9... Location 2 .. the beach @ hervey bay, QLD

#10...

#11...Location #2.. at the farmhouse which is full of groom's family history...

Thanks for looking... feel free to share what you like or don't like x

You did a great job for your first wedding... Not crazy about the focus in number 5... Love 11 , 12 and 13... Good luck on doing this again!! I look forward to hearing all about it and seeing those pictures of course...

12 and 13 are great shots. #5 is iffy on the focus. Nice for the first one.

#10 is my fav although would have like to have seen full body of the young boy leading the way.

11, 12 and 13 I also like, as well as #4.

some of the obvious things ... highlights blown in a few of them and agree that #5 is a bit iffy on focus, and looks like softness enhanced in photoshop.

with that said, Great job for first time out. those nerves are a killer huh? lol

these are great photoes.
i'm sure that there are more than 14 pictures in their album
btw, how many pictures did you take and how many of them actually got to the newlyweds?

with the exception of #5 i think these are all really great shots....you definately have a certain style

Great series. #4 and #10 are pretty cool.

Yes, these are very great shots. I like how you took more then just the average "just bride and groom" photos.

You did a wonderful job! I know if I was shooting my first wedding, my heart woudl be pumping so hard I wouldn't even be able to hear myself think. #9 and #12 are my favourites.

Numbers #2, 8, 9 and 12 would be my fav.

#2 looks like a shot out of a catalogue.

Well done.

I'm sure the couple will be really pleased with them. I would say that nos 4 and 8 are my favourites, with really good use of natural light.

Well done!

Thanks everyone... yep the nerves were happening that day... couldnt even eat my favourite bacon&eggs brekkie!! Plus the little bride was not ready in time!! All in all it was lots of fun... athough i think i enjoyed it more looking back once i had finished the job Shooting my friend's in NZ in January plus doing the make-up! which should be heaps of fun... cant wait.
Just thought i would add, i tried the diffuse glow with some grain in #5 which is what made it look soft. I had both this and the original printed and in a 5x7 it looks really angelic?? But maybe it doesnt work... it was sharp though!! xx

Sk8man... I took about 500 and gave them 200 @5x7" printed plus a 16x20"enlargement..... dont like posting too many at a time.. have never posted 14 before!! Its a lot to get people to look at! x

Thanks everyone for your comments! xx
