No Wedding Photographer

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

No Wedding Photographer

Postby BBJ on Sun Nov 08, 2009 10:31 pm

I hate wedding's and get asked a lot and refuse to do them but have done a few for close freinds. A mate who photographed speedway with film for years and i have sorted him out with digital asked if i would do the photo's for his daughter and well since a mate i said yes so last one for me. As i know it is a lot of work and pressure and my hat goes off to you all who do it, i will stick to my bikes, but anyhow here is just a few nothing stunning.

Had to do some photoshoping with this shot as was shot in front of the Golf club where the reception was so took out the flags and buildingin the background.

You are one brave fella!

I really like the posing and composition in #2. Nice use of sunlight and some 'car' fill.

I can see some ominous skies in the background! At least you could adjust quickly to the situation to make the best of it. Did you have a backup shooter?

Recently a friend asked me to cover her wedding..... I am still running away from her.

And that's all that counts in a wedding. Other things are optional.
