my favorite is numbers are 2 and 4 becuase how well is been compose and the lighting. As much as I like number 3 becuase is excellent b/w I can not see her/his face.

Stunning, simply stunning.

Number 3 just doesn't do it for me though. The others are great.

Spotted your photos on OCAU..

The 4 you have displayed here have blown me away.

Fantastic work

VERY GOOD SHOTS, I LIKE NUMBER 2 KEEP THE GOOD WORK.

All are beautifully executed images. I really can't pick a favourite.

Apart from #3, my favourites are 1,2 4 !

I really like 1 and 4. The bride looks gorgeous in 1.

The patterning on the brides dress really needs colour, in my opinion.

this is fantastic work you should be proud

very, very nice. I like the way you have captured the experiences, not just "portrait" shots. Like the windy beach, the dress assistance, etc.

Exposure very nice, did you shoot in A priority mode?

Job well done, hope your client is very happy, they ought to be

on #3, I'd be tempted to PP out the third party foot prints... have a go.

Clone and Healing brush, might be 5 minutes work, maybe add a filter>Noise>median blur, just a few pixes to that area to cover your PP (healing and clone).

I like to use clone as you can adjust teh opacity, and control the flow.

if i had to pick one, id go the last.
the first pic is so vibrant.. i guess maybe a little ruined by the lady with her back facing us?

Which lady? I can see 4 facing towards us - just one is obscured by the bride.

thanks for the comments. i appreciate suggestions and how i can improve on my photos. i've been really concentrating on emotion/feeling and action lately, rather than capturing just photos of the day.

i found i liked number 3 the best for the reason that it was candid and didn't show their faces, yet had a nice flow and direction to it. i worked on accentuating contrast and played with the shadows to give it more of a dramatic effect along the parallels. the way the veil floats in that direction i think helps as well. cloning the foot prints out on the bottom left is a good idea, but my photoshop is not working today for some reason (need to reinstall it). bruce - i always shoot weddings in manual mode (manual flash as well) as i get paranoid that the camera might do its own quirky thing with exposure.

here's two where her face is visible but i can't help but feel they're a bit too posed...

That last one, if you can get some detail back on his jacket is a winner. It may be posed but you do need some of those photos, and that is one of those photos you should have!

I really like it, well done!

These are excellent photos


Isn't she cold under this weather? Or this was done somewhere else?

The last colour shot is a a beautiful image and of a professional quality. Nicely done!

I can smell a POTW for sure in this thread!!!

It was a coldish 14 degrees. The wedding was in Coff's Harbour so I had to fly up there to shoot it.

Here's a couple bridge shots that I was happy with...






here the sunset made for amazingly warmth in colour.




and the not-so serious stare into the distance



Kyle: Would be an honour, but no expectations at all. Just sharing my photos

Such a great compliment from you Dan, thank you.

My primary is a D200 + grip + 17-55 + SB800 and the secondary that always sits on the shoulder is another D200 + grip + 70-200 + SB800. As you can imagine, the shoulder gets rather stiff after 12 hours of lugging the secondary around. I also always carry the tripod + another SB800 around with pocketwizards in the pocket for extra off camera lighting if needed.

The 3rd photo of the 2nd batch was f/4, ISO 100, 40mm, 1/1000 with a flash fired using the pocketwizard that was sitting on a camera bracket. the flash was set at 1/32 to get a tad bit of fill on their face. otherwise, all the warmth was from the sunset.

Since I keep adding pics, no reason to stop now (unless mods tell me to)...

A few candid portraits with the 70-200...

Smile guys!

Really beautiful series!

WHat can I say that hasn't been said already. There's some excellent work her of which you should be justifiably proud. #4 is absolutely sublime and really shines in great company.

This is the image reviews and critique section, and I've got nothing else to say other than.... so nice

Great job. Out of all of them, the 3rd from the last series is my favourite. That is just a wonderful expression and moment captured.
Other than that the colour shot on the bridge. The railing brings the focus towards the couple.

oh thanks everyone. i really like it how everyone likes different photos!! my original intention was to find out what everyone likes and try to work out why, so i can reflect it more in my work.... but this just shows that everyone has different tastes and preferences, which is equally great.

Awesome mate

Just jumping on the end of a long line of people congratulating you mate.

These are fantastic images, I hope you are really happy with them, I know the bride and groom will be.

Outstanding!

Like Dan says, some of the best wedding images I've seen as well.

the last set look really exotic, great sense of intimacy with the tight crops
and not the standard expressions

i love it

that wedding sure did have all the right elements
