finally the courage to post!

Hello all,

well no doubt most of you can recall I had a very busy month last month with so many weddings on. Well i've finished editing the photos and i am really happy with the shots i achieved from the day, and no doubt the bride and groom will be when the album / photobook arrives in the next few days. All in all i achieved well and truly more then 80 great pleasing shots. I'm about to post a few that i really liked from the day, CC most welcome as I hope to one day do another wedding and if i can improve i would love to! Thanks to Jenno for all his help and advice, without him and the forum I can't say for sure it would have been as sucessful as it was.

Hope you enjoy the shots, i will split the post and post a few more in another post, so it wont take too long for shots to be downloaded.

i love the ethereal look of the shots

the composition of the last one is great it really shows a sense of intimacy between photographer and subject

are you using a softening filter or photoshopping in the glow

All three look great Kristen but the white balance looks a little off to me, especially in the last one.

That last one is great imo, as Andrew mentioned the WB might be a tad off, but the great composition and intimacy bewteen the two in that scene will make up for any technical error!

well done.

Im with ATJ and Bigerry!

I really like the last one!

Great use of soft focus in this set, gives the photos a different look

Thanks everyone for your comments, I really liked number 3 a lot, is was actually one of the last shots of the afternoon and the sun was right behind them which gave them that glow, i then in pp added the soft focus which i think finished it off. It wasn't a shot i've ever tried before, i just noticed the breeze pickup and asked if the groom if he could jump under the veil with his new wife and i'd pop a few shots off, they were the perfect couple to do a wedding for, they were so relaxed and they and their bridal party did everything they were asked and we had a great time.

But thanks for all the kind words and the encouragement, coming from all my old posts to these shots theres a massive difference and all the advice that was given to me over the last few years has aided me in so many ways.

Jenno, thanks.

#3 is absolutely primo as already mentioned.

#2: Do you need to have the perfume bottle? I would be keen to see a shot without it to see whether it improves attention to the subject matter (which I assume is the shoe and flowers?)
