Hi
I'm new to DP and have been involved in photography for the last 3 years however this was on a part time at work basis and involved the adverse side of photography low light and difficult situations shooting, mostly with 800 - 1600 film.
However over the last year I have completed 2 friends weddings to see if I have an eye and a feel for this type of work, I used a Nikon d2xs with a sigma 18-200 lenses. My web site is digital-pics.com, could you give me some honest feed back on my pictures please.
The couples loved the photographs and I know that's all that matters, but deep down I need to know what pros think of them..Many thanks and I look forward to all your replies..hopwfully |

Made a link for you: //www.digital-pics.com/
John, I'm not a pro, but my first impression is that the photography is just so-so. Some photos lack sharpness, though that could be the result of resizing for the web. Some lack color: one of the first photos I saw of the bride, her face looked pale and desaturated. I'd like to see more shots where you get closer to the people and use a shallower depth of field.
The other criticism I have is your sample books. It may be a matter of personal taste but I didn't like the layouts. I especially don't think it's a good idea to have a fold go across someone's face -- especially not the bride's!
Hope you don't feel offended by these comments. There are others here who are experienced wedding photographers who may offer more constructive criticism.
I see you just registered, you should get involved here! :-)

Ditto what City said, the book especially.
In your pricing bit, instead of saying John, maybe say I a bit more, makes it feel personal versus some John that will turn up.
It was fast loading for me though |

| By the way, John, I took another look and I must say some of the photos are quite good. Sorry I didn't mention that earlier. Cheers, |

"Gobby" is a new word for me. After googling the word, I think it either refers to mouthy/outspoken or to an act of fellatio. Please clarify. :-D
