Not bad!
Maybe the Bride & Groom (B&W) shot should swap places with the featured little girl? Just for overall aesthetics.

As Marcus said. Remember that the day is the bride and groom's so focus on them. Of course weddings were invented purely for women, so focus on her, but don't forget the groom as well. :)

Hi BBJ, very nice, I am sure the bride and groom would love it. I agree with big pix and marcus.

Also, maybe thicker borders around images and single colour background?

Cheers
Vince

Thanks Vince, Mate i am glad i dont do this for a living, so i have a feel for what you must go throught and well i dont like it having to get in between people trying to get pics. I was only using the onboard flash as well so yeh not for me im afraid, i will stick to sports stuff. LOL

Thanks Vince, beauty about shooting in RAW i guess can adjust things, and had to bump the iso up a bit, but considering they are better than no photo's. there lots if lil camers but yeh i am sure with all taken that will get enough.

BBJ, think they are excellent and notice you didn't even get the bride to sit on a motorbike. I think they would be very happy with you :wink:

Thanks Glen, I'll try anything once.LOL But yeh no thought into the pics really just dodging everyone eles and trying to make do with what i had to use, was just a see what i can do with the pics when i got home. A lo0t of them had redeye inwhich i did have it turned on but maybe it didn't preflash like it should or i was too far away, but i fixed them in paint shop pro. I think they came up ok considering least they will have 145 pics i took anyhow.
Cheers
