Hey guys,

Just this weekend that past, I had the joy of photographing an awesome couple on their special day with Zeduce. I really must admit, they're the best looking couple I've photographed I reckon

I'd love some critique on my work, So i guess thats why they are here, but congratulations to the happy Mr. Phillip B ! Maybe one day you could give me a few pointers or two on weddings as well.

and here's the set :

your a star

last one is a great technical concept pulled off well
love the mood in the veil oe too and the running one is a great moment

beautiful couple indeed and day

congratulations phillip

Marcus,

These are great images, very well done mate.

For me personally number #2 is the weakest but I like the experimentation with the veil, it just doesn't do much for me.

#4 I like the composition, but the lighting / processing or something seems a little weird to me. I'd be keen to know what if anything you've done to it to achieve this affect. (Amazing dress by the way).

#1 Simple, affective and a great opening for their album

#3 A gorgeous moment and nice processing, if I had to be super picky.. perhaps not the most flatterying pose for the bride, and I'm in two minds about the hair hiding the face. It kind of offers a hidden privacy which I like, but I think it might of been stronger with more of her face showing.. and less of her expose skin to distract (again being SUPER picky here).

#5 Stunning I really love this one, and don't have anything to offer criticism wise, nice strobist style! Perfectly balanced composition, the lighting is well controlled. Well done mate. Hope I wasn't too harsh.

Don't expect me to comment on these mate, I'm far too biased. Can't wait to see the rest of them.

phillip im still editing it will take me days
too many photos of a beautiful couple

i love the idea of #2. shame you couldnt get their faces in it cos im loving the effect of the veil...
very very clever.

It was Wendell's idea.

I know what you mean with "doing much" I think the idea is great, just the capture should be executed much better, but I love the idea behind it, I have a surprising like towards the hiding of faces here...

Amazing dress indeed! I loved photographing the dress! In terms of processing... good question... I can remember securely processing color balance, lifting the midtones up in curves on Jennifer, and to obtain detail in the dress, increasing midtone contrast. There is also a fair bit of cloning and fixing the background and the smidget of grass in the foreground.

Amen

Thanks for that. I was at a mixed emotion of the hair as well, but I found it to be a great moment captured, they certainly have a spark between them
