Wow, photo intensive post right here! Would be nice for a heads up on that in the future. Overall the shots look great!

I hope you got paid pretty well because they spent **** load of money on that wedding. Overall I like them. Some of the low iso shots I feel need more noise cancelling.

Hi,

Though I am not a fan of sepia, staged photos and use of flash even in a dark place Overall, result is good. The most important is to meet your clients demands, than your self If they are happy, you did your job. Technically there are some overexposed photos, not quite correct composition and so on... But who cares? The rules are created to break them...and there are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.

Competent. Capable. Not the best I've ever seen, but pretty decent stuff overall. Some challenging situations, like the night clouds + flash and the outdoor stuff with fireworks,etc.

I think overall you did a very respectable job. I would be proud, but I'm a newbie so my standards may be low.

Still, I would have been happy to pay for those images had they been of me and my bride.

Thanks, I try to do as little posed pictures as possible, sometimes you just have to during weddings!

Thanks! They better not be the best you've ever seen. If they were I'm DEFINITELY not charging enough!

You can tell Dad is sophisticated and has some money by his tie-knot. He could probably teach the groom a thing or two. Only those who really pay attention to detail tie the full Windsor! :lmao:

Nice shots. With your 4th image, and a few other of your B&W's, the skin tones are dark, and particularly blotchy. Especially for mom who looks like she already has some freckles/moles/blotchiness. When doing B&W conversions in Lightroom, or any other program that gives you independent color luminance control, it's really important to make sure that the red and orange slider are fairly close together. When they have a gap between them, you run into all sorts of blotchy skin and dark freckles problems.

Skies are truly amazing

overall these are great photo's, the only shot i didnt like was the flower toss from the balcony. The flash (and Tripod) is clearly in the shot and i think its tacky, and would have looked amazing if you would have placed it behind the beam, and gotten rid of the harsh flash flare. I'm from Columbia by the way GO COCKS!!

Good tip! I just started messing around with the luminance channels, good stuff!

Nice images and creative processing. I'm sure they'll be very happy!

My only critique to add that is different from everyone else's is that all the shots are crooked where you have building or some sort of architecture. I would try fixing the tilt on those. Otherwise, I think you did a splendid job and I am sure they will love these. Remember, what we think looks cheesy or looks like there is room for improvement, the clients find these shots amazing.
