Great shots of the bride.

How do you get the border? Is that a series of PP commands?

Great photos but with some of the photos of the bride, she has a purple tinge to her :shock:

I thought the bridesmaids had some sort of tattoo happening before i realised it was the back of their dress :lol: :oops:

i am trying a new raw workflow.

catagorise photos in different light conditions

ie. incan with flash bounce/slow
incan with flash bounce/no red eye
Fluoro with flash...etc

that way i can batch process...but sometimes 1 just gets away...

i cant remember the house had natural light with incan in 1 room and fluoro in the next etc...bit confusing.

Good shots. Esp. like the portrait shots. Nice use of ambient light.
Last image needs a touch more exposure I think.
Yeah, mixed lighting is a pain in the a$$. I find gray cards are useful if you have access to the room & can spare a minute to get a shot. Otherwise the groom's collar I find is useful for sampling when the bride is in the traditional dress or the wedding dress is off white.
Any reason for the pink dress? Traditionally red for wedding & any other colour for engagement. I guess she prolly just liked pink.
How do you like the 50 1.8 as an all around lens? Or do you change?

Cheers
