hey, for your first time out these are all good :-) My only comment is that your exposure could use some work (that applies to me sometimes too so I'm not judging :-). Some shots are slightly under exposed while others are over exposed. A bit of Photoshop would help with both problems.
Other wise good job with all the formals. |

Yea. I agree with the exposures. The sun was giving me a hard time that day and inside was the first time I used a flash that wasn't built into the camera so that was a learning as I went experience as well. Other than that I was happy with I got. They were happy as well since they know this is just a hobby for me.

I love this one out of the ones linked. Something about the simplisity and innocence of the little pink dress going up the long stairs of life. |

| I looked at your wedding shots and those on your web site. IMHO, alot of the wedding shots are a tad too dark. Ditto for some of your other shots. Shoot in manual and over expose a little, being mindful of shutter speed or auto and correct in post editing. If you haven't calibrated your monitor, do so. Some of the shots other than the wedding photos suffered from a lack of sharpness, correct in p/e and consider using a tripod to fix problem. If shooting in auto and the shutter speed is 1/125 or less definately use a tripod. Overall composition of your pictures looked good, you have some really good shots that would be exceptional except for the aboved mention observations. |

I have to disagree with the suggestion to use a tripod. Yeah they're dandy for shooting 'formals' since they're the ones that tend to get blown up, but most wedding these days focus on candid and photojournalist approaches that don't constitute using a tripod. I do, however, agree with shooting manual. It didn't appear to be a really bright day so there shouldn't have been too many issues with exposure. Overcast days produce the perfect natural light. Indoors is another story. Again, nothing here that some PS wouldn't cure.
Just tips for next time, these shots you produced are all good. And I can see why they were happy :-) |

For any nitpicks possible here, had I been getting married, I would
be thrilled to have shots done like this for me. Nicely done.
is superb. |

| Great job. If this is your first wedding job, I can only imagine how good you'll be if you continue to do them. |

I think well done for your first effort! In regards to the exposure I'm sure you would of learnt a lot from your first outing! Take the above comments on board.

Good because I am not a big fan of tripods...

I have a monopod and pistol grip for the ceremony and a tripod for formals, but if you don't have a monopod, NOT using a tripod is mostly arrogance and the way to get blurry shots. I'd love to see a keeper ratio for those who shoot weddings without a tripod. As I've said before, if you can keep 90% of your shots at 1/25 at 75mm in a church with people moving, you kick ASS. I know I can't and I do this for a living.
