Wedding - Krystal and Andy - The Series (Picture Heavy)

[manaheim]

Ok, I've finally corrected all of the shots from the ceremony and the important ones from the reception. C/C welcome if desired.

(btw, this is the guy who was married in a previous wedding I did... he wore a Boba Fett mask for some of his pictures and when he walked into the reception.)

==2==

Mom of the bride. Absolutely fabulous woman.

==3==

Maid of honor. Lovely lady who was also the bride of my first wedding ever.

==4==

Our lovely bride.


More to come... just breaking it up a bit in this thread.

She wanted to stop traffic.

Shots of the church and how it feels on the day are always important to me.

Shots of the flowers and various details of the environment are also always critical, IMO. So easily lost in the mists of time otherwise.

==11==

You can tell there wasn't too much going on at this time because of all the detail shots.

==12==

Dad was very stoic. Surprisingly for a man giving away his daughter. I was impressed.

It's sort of hard to suppress the architectural photographer in me.

To say the reception hall had a nice view would be a bit of an understatement.

Back out to the streets to stir up some chaos. You'd be amazed what a bride wandering the streets of a city does to the populace. It's quite interesting.

And as a re-do on one many of you probably saw from my original posting of it...

Number 14 is my personal favorite, very warm and inviting with a genuine smile. Number 30, except for the douche who is the back left. It always amazes me how humble many of you are who display their wedding work on this forum. Very nice Mana, the candles in the aisle adds a nice touch.:thumbup:

Very nice work! I liked all the shots from the church details!

The reception location is fabulous, hope you did had some great shots about the venue, and bride & groom at the venue. By the way, I like the ceremony shots that you took great shots

Here is my CC man. If I dont say anything.. no comment. No sugar coating as always.

2. If I have to guess, she probably wont like the way she looks there. I would toss it.
3. Your best shot. This should go straight to your portfolio. Too bad it is not the bride... but for portfolio wise, people wont know.
4. Toss it, looks like someone is standing next to you and she is posing for that person
5. A lot better than 4. Maybe could use more processing
6. Meh, wish you can see the face(s)
7. Looks like a posed shot but unprepared.. i rather see more candid. It looks like it was unprepared and you said.. look over here. I rather they are not looking.
8. I understand you want to show the church, sometimes you want to wait until you can see the b&g. Seeing a wide shot of the church like that without seeing the B&G doesnt give you enough story telling. I would at least wait until b&g stands in the middle of the altar.
12 - 16. Shoot wider man! Seriously.. you can tell story better if you go wider. Besides.. dont you have D800? Plenty of MP to crop if you go tighter.
22. Wider! What is she looking at?
24. Too obvious that they are posing for someone and you take pics of the flower.. I say go tighter.
25. Antenna on his head. Too unplanned yet... doesnt feel candid.
27. Go a lot wider. Did you crop most of it? Does not look like a 24mm shot.
28. Meh... nothing is really going on
29. Meh... but if you can put reflection of the B&G there, would have been a portfolio shot. If you see an idea like this, come up to the B&G and say.. hey I have a really cool idea. Can you stand right here and kiss? You could have done the same shot and maybe point a flash toward the B&G.
30. Not sure why you put this shot here. I bet cha she hates her expression.
31. Screaming B&W. The B&G is cold, the background is yellow. Either gel your flash or just make it B&W. Would have been better if they were kissing or do other poses not looking at the camera. The bright stuff on the right is a little distracting.
32. Very unplanned with the framing. Pedestrian on the left. Either get a better framing with whole body shot, or go really close with long focal length and show the bokeh circles!
