I'm really enjoying the artistic creativity that f1.2 gives me.

Looks to be fine to me, Bruce.

And that would be the 85 f/1,2.

Yeah, these guys were tops. Helps when they are good friends too.

I think these were 50mm f1.2 shots.

I agree with the dream like quality to these shots.

And with the music, regardless of clef it's still the right way up :)

I really like the way photo #1 has two parts of it in focus - both the upper part of her and the marriage certificate : brilliant!

With shot 4 I feel you needed more depth of feild, not less, that style of shot should have both in focus, It gives the impression of it is just about him and she can be fuzzed out.
3 is excellent, and 1 and 2 are good arty / thought provocting shots
