thanks... the first shot was wide open with the 50mm f1.8... great little lens for stuff like this.
cheers

#1 Like this one, great affect with the OOF, and that grass looks really nice
#2 I like how the yellow in the background ties into the yellow ribbons, but I don't like the chair being cut off on the right.
#3 Kiss is nice, intimate lighting (they should love it).
#4 I like the idea of this one, but I reckon the groom ruins this shot for me.. I'd crop him out and keep the bride.. I think it's partly his smile, mostly he's looking at the camera..(he should be looking at her) and partly he's a little too OOF... like I said love the idea.. but I think he's letting the shot down.. (while she's spot on..)
#5 Hmmm, different angle which is ok.. but don't like how close the crop is on the flowers and loosing part of her arm / hand
#6 Is a nice blokey shot, I'd clone out the light post... maybe even the vegetation on the left of the far right bloke
#6 Nice shot would of been great to see a little more of the brides eyes
Open you don't mind I've tried to really isolate anything I saw as a problem in your shots... (nothing personal ) I think lately I've been a little to excited and not giving people contructive criticism to help improve there shots.... please bear in mind I know nothing about Wedding photography and a lot of the faults are issues with the "customer/models" not the pilot behind the camera.

Thanks Glen.... I love using trees when taking shots of people... sometimes they can make great frames like this one:

Hi Mark,
the stand out one for me is the last one. the expression on the groom's face tells me: ok now all of that crap is out of the way, let the fun begin. The Bride is saying: Oh my god I'm really in for a night of it now......
Good Shots overall, Wedding Photography is always a curse, they always expect you to make a silk purse out of a sows ear
Regards
Tony

Mark - as already stated...mate...thse are great but the kissing one is my fave too, big time...it's powerful, emotive and captures the way they're feeling towards each other brilliantly! I'm sure they'll love it!!
Well done!

No's 1 and 2 don't work for me. Too abstract for a wedding. The rest are excellent with the "kiss" being the standout shot. Nice work with the black and white. Also love the blokey shot...second last. I think your clients will be happy.

First one and the kiss are great. With the couple shots I just wonder how much better they would have been if the man was looking at the bride, rather than the camera?

Nice shots Xerubus. #3 the kiss I think is the pick of them. Looks like you're going to have to drop the fire chasing and get into wedding photography
cheers

thankyou Matt... The blokey shot is my favourite from the day... captures the mischief they were up to
maximus... you are spot on... that is what I wanted the groom to do but he was having too much fun pulling faces etc....
marco... fire chasing has been a little slow of late... been trying to find a balance between that work and getting back into my wedding photography etc...
thanks all for the comments...
cheers

No critique just wanted to say these seem really nicely and subtly done, you've captured each moment and mood really well... Enjoyed them...

b&w can often be overdone and cliched, but your shots are always appropriately treated and always add to the photo - very nice... should have clients lining up left right and centre!

beautiful work mark, especially considering the stress you would have been going through photographig the wedding, they say if you can do weddings or kids you can do anything

Nice... must of been a bright wedding, what colour did the bride & bridesmaids wear ?
Also if that is true wendell, what about Kids @ weddings ?

bride: white bridesmaids: pastel light yellow.
midday wedding are horrible to shoot.. especially outdoors.... far too much light around and can really test your metering.

If you can handle youn kids say 4-7 years in a shoot at a wedding then yes, you would be considered as super dooper!

Considering I've got a 3 & 6 year old - I'd say that if you can handle 3-7 year olds, a wedding, people running late, and doing all this late afternoon/evening then you are superman!

Some absolutely beautiful pictures here. Your B&W treatment is really nice and really creates an evocative atmosphere. #3 and 4 are particularly good.
