Seems like you did pretty well, except pictures 2, 3 & 4 drive me crazy with the crucifix growing out of the bride's head (and the same for the "kiss" shot, #5) :-( I think that's a really major, major booboo, sorry. I don't want to rain on your parade or anything, but I felt compelled to comment to that issue...

Personally, I won't bother looking at photos with the pre-excuse of being really botched by an uploader. Why not zip them up and upload them to your portfolio? I'd be much more likely to look at photos without a pre-excuse. :-)

Images 1800 and 1863 are too dark, but not dark enough to be a silhouettes, i recommend brightening them up. While you're at it, add a little more brightness and contrast to 1891

these are fresh from the camera the day after the weddin, i shot in RAW so il take it all in and work with it, thanks all you guys... also, the cropping comments... im compensating for the 4:5 8x10 crop ratio, maybe i did it wrong but i know i takes about an inch or two off the top/bottom of the image

Buddy, you're lucky to get any comments on your images. So don't get uppity.

06/23/2008 03:28:45 PM · #16
yes... i had a slideshow going at the reception of the fresh off the memory card..everyone liked them... the brides maids especially.. handed out a few cards to some of the single ones

Robert,

They must have had a lot of trust in you to have a 17 yr. old take their wedding shots :) Congrats on surviving the first one and I hope you get some great referrals and some nice shots for your portfolio.

Judy

Edit to add: Do you have any of the actual ceremony? The church ones appeared to be staged either before or after the ceremony.

I'll get shot down in flames for this comment, it's great to have honest feed back from the site and I really do think it's great helpful and reassuring but if the customer isnt happy then all the comments in the world wont change that, likewise if they like it.

Hope I helped

I hope you're getting some help from all this. You do have some usable stuff. I know it's rough to accept the criticism when you give your all to a job, but I know I've certainly found that most of the time, these freakin critics........usually are right, dammit! LOL!!!

I hope you had fun and learned.....I *DO* very much like some of these images......you did mange to catch some great expressions and perspectives.

I think they're great. I'd love to see them after post-processing.
