G'day mate,

I've got no idea when it comes to people shots so while I'll have a go, please just take my feedback with a grain of salt ;)

Like the way you've framed the couple in the first image and it appears like a genuinely happy moment. Wondering why you've chosen F11 though?

The second looks like you've chosen to blow the sky in order to get more detail in the couple's faces etc, although the contrast or "depth" of the shadows seems strong to me. Wondering whether this is the "look" you were aiming for in PP?

The third is a great image (my favorite), again wondering about the aperture, thinking that maybe to blur the background might help focus the attention on the happy couple? Also, wonder whether the vignette (which I assume is added in PP) could perhaps be more towards the edge (at least in the top and top RH corner) where the guy's face seems to get a bit lost in the shadow/vignette... Beautiful genuine smile on the young lady...

In the fourth the shirt seems very bright, wondering if it's due to PP? The shirt seems to grab my eye, and the young lady's face seems a bit lost in the shadow...

In the last, I'm wondering whether the background could be blurred (and maybe darkened a smidge) to focus attention on the happy couple? Maybe that one would be a good candidate for some vignette???

In all of them it looks as though you would have struggled with exposure due to hard light, there seems to be some quite strong contrast but that may be the style you were after, dunno...

I haven't had the nerve to take photo's at a wedding, I reckon you've done a lot better than I would...

Told ya I'd struggle... :lol:
